Biomarkers of renal graft injuries in kidney allograft recipients (BIOMARGIN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

In renal allograft recipients, 10-year graft survival has not improved over the past decades. Histological examination of graft biopsies has long been the gold standard to confirm graft injuries, but biopsies are invasive and histological grading is not very robust. There is thus a need for robust, non-invasive methods to predict and diagnose acute and chronic graft lesions, to improve patient tre ...

Scaffolds for alternative delivery (SADEL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The SME-based SADEL consortium intends to develop the first generation of oral bio-therapeutics tackling disease targets in the digestive tract, by making optimal use of the Nanofitin (Nf) protein scaffold. Nf based drugs will progress through routes not travelled by antibodies while interacting with targets not modulated by chemical compounds.Existing Nf hits against validated targets will progre ...

An industry system enabling the use of a patented materials processing technology for Low Cost forming of Lightweight structures for transportation industries (LoCoLite)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

Environmental wellbeing backed by increasingly severe legislation dictates that pollution and energy consumption by automobiles must be reduced significantly. The outcomes of this project will enable both these imperatives to be achieved simultaneously. The project aim is to establish production lines in Europe that manufacture components for lightweight complex-shaped automobile body structures ...

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 ...

Therapeutic challenge in Leukodystrophies: Translational and ethical research towards clinical trials (LEUKOTREAT)

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

Leukodystrophies (LDs) are inherited rare neurodegenerative diseases of the white matter and its main component, the myelin, that are affecting predominantly children. Severity of the disease is related to the axonal dysfunction due to myelin deficiency or destruction. Despite the achievement of remarkable advances made in the past decade, there is no current curative therapy. The development of t ...

Quantum Repeaters for Long Distance Fibre-Based Quantum Communication (QuRep)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

The goal of QuRep is to develop a Quantum Repeater - the elementary building block required to overcome current distance limitations for long-distance quantum communication. Quantum Repeaters are the analogue of classical optical amplifiers that permit the cascading of successive fibre optic communication links. Quantum Repeater technology is centred around quantum light-matter interactions at the ...
