Micro/nanosensors for early cancer warning system - diagnostic and prognostic information (SMARTCANCERSENS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"Oncologists still rely heavily on biological characterisation of tumours and a limited number of biomarkers which have demonstrated clinical utility. Routine cancer diagnostic tools may not be always sensitive enough and may only detect proteins at levels corresponding to an advanced stage of the disease. Recently, new genomic and proteomic molecular tools (molecular signatures) are being employe ...

The Human Brain Project (HBP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21st century science. If we can rise to the challenge, we can gain profound insights into what makes us human, develop new treatments for brain diseases and build revolutionary new computing technologies. Today, for the first time, modern ICT has brought these goals within sight. The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the ...

Stimuli-responsive Zipper-like Nanobioreactors (Smart)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

The current nanobioreactor research is focussed on the fabrication of simple-to-use, inexpensive and ultra-sensitive devices which are highly selective, sensitive and stable. Thus, the fundamental goal of this research project is to design, develop and verify a novel bioreactor with self-control abilities for advanced applications (e.g. switchable bio-catalysis) utilising nanotechnology. This subj ...

Modulated Catalysis by Smart Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (SmartMIP)

Start date: Dec 8, 2009, End date: Dec 7, 2011,

Molecular imprinting, an important methodology for the straightforward prepared of antibody-like polymers, is recently one of focuses in chemistry because of its importance in catalysis, separation and sensing. Described usually as a ‘from-key-to-lock’ process, the molecular imprinting recognizes and interacts with substrates basing on a specifically complementary framework. The present proposal a ...
