Bio-inspired optical corrections of presbyopia (PRESBYOPIA)
Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2018,
The human crystalline lens has the capability to dynamically change its shape to focus near and far objects. By age 55, the accommodation capability is lost and optical aids are needed for near vision. Many questions remain open that are critical to understand accommodation, the failure in presbyopia, and the prospects for its correction. Multifocal presbyopic corrections are increasingly used. Ho ...

Marine Microorganisms: Cultivation Methods for Improving their Biotechnological Applications (MACUMBA)
Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
Marine microorganisms form an almost untapped resource of biotechnological potential. However, its use is hindered by the low success rate of isolation of novel microorganisms and often by poor growth efficiency. Hence, the vast majority of marine microorganisms has not been cultivated and is often considered as ‘unculturable’. MaCuMBA aims at improving the isolation rate and growth efficiency of ...

"FAbrication, Irradiation and Reprocessing of FUELS and targets for transmutation" (FAIRFUELS)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2015,
"FAbrication, Irradiation and Reprocessing of FUELS and targets for transmutation (FAIRFUELS) provides a way towards a more efficient use of fissile material in nuclear reactors with a view to reducing the volume and hazard of high level long-lived radioactive waste, closing the nuclear fuel cycle. In order to contribute to the competitiveness of Europe, the Collaborative Project FAIRFUELS will c ...

Functionalities of Bismuth based nanostructures (BisNano)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
The aim of the present project is to explore the properties and possible applications of bismuth and bismuth based compounds when they are synthesized at the nanometric scale. This approach is motivated by the uncommon but advantageous properties of bismuth which, in part, have been exploited for many years. However, there are many unexplored possibilities and with the advent of nanotechnology new ...

Marine Metagenomics for New Biotechnological Applications (MAMBA)
Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"The Project aims at the mining of individual enzymes and metabolic pathways from extremophilic marine organisms and the metagenomes from microbial communities from peculiar marine environments and consequent funnelling the new enzymatic reactions and processes towards the new biotechnological applications. Project builds up on the scientific and technological excellence of individual academic and ...
