Optimization Driven Architectural Design of Structures (OptArch)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2020,

"According to UNEP, the building sector is estimated to be worth 10% of the global GDP and employs 111 million people. In addition, buildings use about 40% of global energy, 40% of global resources and emit approximately 33% of global GHG emissions. Finally, the fact that people today spend, on average, more than 80% of their time indoors, enhances its social importance. All above indicate the nec...

"X-ray Crystallographic, Structural, and Biochemical Studies of Three Wax Ester Synthase Variants for Future Biotechnological Applications" (WSDGATFORBIODIESEL)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

"The recently discovered wax ester synthases (WS/DGATs) have demonstrated potential to catalyze production of biodiesel (microdiesel) by microbial systems. However, one inherent feature of WS/DGATs, their preference of long chain fatty alcohols as co-substrate, prevents efficient use of WS/DGATs for production of biodiesel. Future structure-guided protein engineering studies to increase the select...

Interactions of Breast Cancer Cells with Macrophages in Controlled 3D in vitro Microenvironments (Cancer-3Dmatrix-EGF)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Oct 1, 2015,

The leading cause of death for cancer patients is metastasis. During metastasis, cancer cells interact with various molecules and cells. It has been shown that a group of macrophages facilitates metastasis. Our goal is to determine the mechanism of interaction between epidermal growth (EGF) produced by macrophages and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expressed by breast cancer cells.Soluble...

Investigating the Role of Abnormal Hemichannel Activities of Cx26 Mutations on Epidermal Keratinocyte Calcium Homeostasis and Differentiation (SkinConnection)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The skin protects the body against environmental insults and to function properly, epidermal keratinocytes maintain a perfect balance between proliferation and differentiation. Alteration of this balance leads to disorders. Some of these diseases are linked to connexin (Cx) mutations. Connexins are widely expressed in all layers of the epidermis but exact roles of connexins in the epidermis are no...

Understanding the roles of mammalian sialidases in glycolipid catabolism (Catabolic sialidases)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Sialidases are widely distributed in nature, from microorganisms to mammals. Mammalian sialidases differ in their tissue distribution, subcellular localization, substrate specificity and pH optimum. To date, several mammalian sialidases have been cloned; a lysosomal form (Neu1), a cytosolic form (Neu2), a plasma membrane-associated form (Neu3) and a lysosomal/mitochondrial form (Neu4). Defining th...
