Molecular basis of the outer membrane permeability (TRANSLOCATION)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Overcoming the barriers that the cell envelope and efflux pumps provide to Gram-negative bacteria is a major bottleneck in the discovery and development of new antibiotics. To respond to this Call we are extending our current network on antibiotic translocation and propose an ambitious project ranging from identification of novel resistance mechanisms in clinical bacterial isolates to crystallizat ...

Rational molecular Assessments and Innovative Drug Selection (RAIDS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

Cervical cancer (CC) is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. The main objective of the RAIDs project is to use this model system which is accessible to repeat biopsies to learn how to stratify patients into targeted therapies. The patients’ tumors will be classified into molecular subtypes based on their molecular profile by use of high-throughput technologies (sequen ...

Simulators and Interfaces with Quantum Systems (SIQS)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

The overarching goal of our project is to develop systems based on direct and deterministic interactions between individual quantum entities, which by involving large-scale entanglement can outperform classical systems in a series of relevant applications.We plan to achieve that by improving technologies from atomic, molecular and optical physics as well as from solid-state physics, and by develop ...

Graphene-Based Revolutions in ICT And Beyond (GRAPHENE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

This Flagship aims to take graphene and related layered materials from a state of raw potential to a point where they can revolutionize multiple industries – from flexible, wearable and transparent electronics, to new energy applications and novel functional composites.Our main scientific and technological objectives in the different tiers of the value chain are to develop material technologies fo ...

"The DIABAT project will employ knowledge of the function, dysfunction and physiological regulation of brown adipocytes to develop innovative therapeutic and preventive strategies for type 2 diabetes. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is currently a worldwide recognized target to combat obesity and diabetes due to last years re-discovery of functional BAT in adult humans by several of the members of the ...

Highly Efficient Tubular Membranes for Oxy-Combustion (HETMOC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

This project will develop and demonstrate Highly Efficient Tubular Membranes for OxyCombustion. Oxycombustion is a promising option for implementing cost-efficient carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) in future coal fired power plants. The use of oxygen membranes in the process has the potential to significantly reduce the efficiency losses associated with the capture and to improve the overall ...

Efficient Integrated Security Checkpoints (EFFISEC)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

Illegal immigration and illicit material detection is a growing concern at the European borders; in that respect border security checkpoints must be particularly efficient against any kind of threat. If airport checkpoints controls are today technically improving, land and seaport checkpoints differ strongly from airports ones and are more complex to process. During the last years, most of the eff ...

Predicting antibiotic resistance (PAR)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2013,

"The aim of this proposal is to describe and predict the dynamics of antibiotic resistance development at the level of the drug target, the microbe and the host. That is, we want to generate the knowledge required to be able to connect resistance mechanism --> bacterial physiology and fitness --> bacterial survival within a host --> bacterial spread between hosts. To achieve this goal we will deve ...

Guardian Angels for a Smarter Life (Guardian Angels)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

Guardian Angels (GA) are future zero-power, intelligent, autonomous systems-of-systems featuring sensing, computation, and communication beyond human aptitudes. GA will assist humans from their infancy to old age in complex life situations and environments. Zero-power reflects system-of-systems ability to scavenge energy in dynamic environments by disruptive harvesting techniques. The project prep ...

"Serious disorders of the blood system, particularly malignant blood disorders and genetic diseases can be effectively treated by blood and marrow transplantation. Despite considerable success with this treatment modality during the last decades, lack of suitable donors, engraftment failure and graft versus host disease remain serious problems that need to be addressed. This project aims to addres ...
