"Biosensors, Reporters and Algal Autonomous Vessels for Ocean Operation" (BRAAVOO)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
"BRAAVOO aims to develop innovative solutions for real-time in-situ measurements of high impact and difficult to measure marine pollutants. The concept of BRAAVOO is based on a unique combination of three types of biosensors, which will enable both the detection of a number of specific marine priority pollutants as well as of general biological effects that can be used for early warning. First, in ...

Standarization and orthogonalization of the gene expression flow for robust engineering of NTN (new-to-nature) biological properties (ST-FLOW)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
The ST-FLOW Project merges the efforts of 14 leading European research groups for developing material and computational standards that enable the forward-design of prokaryotic systems with a degree of robustness and predictability that is not possible with customary Genetic Engineering. The central issue at stake is the identification and implementation of rules that allow the conversion of given ...

Biosensor nanoarrays for environmental monitoring (BIOMONAR)
Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
BIOMONAR develops multiplexed nanoarray biosensors for environmental targets, i.e. pollutants and pathogens. The innovative approach engineers three sensor platforms (surface, liposomal, living cell) which exploit a panel of periplasmic binding proteins (PBPs) as the common selective element. The nanoarrays are integrated into a microfluidics system for in-situ monitoring. The strategy allows for ...

Examination of the relationship between microbial and plant diversity across large spatial and elevational gradients to predict community migration patterns as a function of climate change (MP-Alps)
Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
The specific aims of the proposed project is to understand the relationship between microbial community structure and plant diversity across large spatial and elevational gradients in the Swiss Alps in order to predict community migration patterns as a function of climate change. The 3 objectives covered by the project will be: 1) to characterize the soil community composition of the archaeal, bac ...

Bacterial Abiotic Cellular Stress and Survival Improvement Network (BACSIN)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,
BACSIN is a 16-member consortium with the main focus to improve rational exploitation of the catalytic properties of bacteria for the treatment and prevention of environmental pollution. Current application of bacteria in the environment is hindered by the lack of knowledge on the effects of stresses on cellular activity, most importantly abiotic stresses prevailing on site (e.g., desiccation or n ...
