Patient specific modelling and simulation of focused ultrasound in moving organs (FUSIMO)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
In recent years, High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound and Focused Ultrasound (FUS) have become frequent tools for non-invasive benign tumour therapy. Applications in the treatment of fibroadenoma of uterus has become commercial and passed FDA clearance in 2004 and sonication of bone metastasis has obtained a CE mark. Other tumours are under preclinical (prostate, kidney) and clinical (breast, brain a ...

Structural Biology of Membrane Proteins (SBMPs)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
Membrane proteins (MPs) are known to be key molecules in cellular communications, from signal transduction to transport of ions, metabolites and other molecules. They also participate in the synthesis of ATP, the import of soluble or MPs from the cytosol, and they protect living organisms from toxic factors. The proposal consists in a joint training effort involving the major biophysical methods t ...

"Innovative simulation tool for bone and bone biomaterials, based on enhanced CT-data exploitation" (BIO-CT-EXPLOIT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
"The use of computer tomography (CT) imaging is steadily increasing in the ever growing bone implant/surgery and tissue engineering market, although commercial exploitation of CT data for structural design purposes is still based on trial-and-error approaches. This is because X-ray attenuation information is reduced to geometric grey level evaluation. However, on the academic stage, a transnationa ...

Crystallographic and biochemical studies of the human TBX5-Nkx2-5-DNA complex (TBX5-Nkx2)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2010,
Holt Oram syndrome (HOS) is a heart and limb syndrome, which manifests itself in 1 of 100000 live births. HOS syndrome is an autosomal-dominant disease, where forelimb and cardiac congenital abnormalities are observed. The syndrome is connected to mutations in the T-box transcription factor TBX5 gene. Similar symptoms are observed when mutations in the homeobox transcription factor human Nkx2-5 ar ...
