Harnessing Cavitation for Therapy (TheraCav)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,
Focused Ultrasound Surgery (FUS) is rapidly emerging as a technique setting the gold-standard for the treatment of a wide range of diseases, including cancer. Current practise relies on the conversion of acoustic energy to thermal, for localised and minimally-invasive ablation with non-ionising radiation. Cavitation (the formation, and subsequent pressure driven dynamics, of bubbles) is a common o ...

Chromosome self-clearing completes sister chromatid separation (SELFCC)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,
"In this research program, we propose the new concept that sister chromatid separation in mitosis is completed as a result of the dynamic intrinsic structural changes of chromosomes, i.e. through cycles of regional chromosome stretching and recoiling, which we call the self-clearing mechanism of chromosomes. By developing several novel methods, we will establish this new concept and demonstrate th ...

SUrrogate markers for vascular Micro- and Macrovascular hard endpoints for Innovative diabetes Tools (SUMMIT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
Diabetes mellitus is a lifelong, incapacitating disease affecting multiple organs. Worldwide prevalence figures estimate that there will be 246 million diabetic patients in 2007 and 380 million in 2025. Presently, diabetes can neither be prevented nor cured and the disease is associated with devastating chronic complications including coronary heart disease and stroke (macrovascular disease) as we ...
