"Systems Analysis of Plant Metabolism through the Integration of Heterogeneous Data from Genetics, Informatics and Metabolomics" (SAMIT)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

"The term METABOLISM describes all the chemical reactions and interactions that take place in a biological system. The regulation of metabolic pathways is constantly tuned in order to suit the needs of development and fitness. The main goal of the proposed research is to unravel networks of genes and proteins which coordinate the activity of metabolic pathways during plant development and stress r ...

Patient-centric model for remote management, treatment and rehabilitation of autistic children (MICHELANGELO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Q- EEG is used in medical labs to determine the brain connectivity in autistic children but due to the artificial nature of this lab-based approach its validity under a real-life scenario is doubtful.Also therapeutic interventions are executed typically in a clinical setting and have a limited extension in time while it has been proved the beneficial effect of an intensive intervention.Moreover, a ...

Biomimetic process design for tissue regeneration: from bench to bedside via in silico modelling (BRIDGE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

"Tissue engineering (TE), the interdisciplinary field combining biomedical and engineering sciences in the search for functional man-made organ replacements, has key issues with the quantity and quality of the generated products. Protocols followed in the lab are mainly trial and error based, requiring a huge amount of manual interventions and lacking clear early time-point quality criteria to gu ...

VOIce-based Community-cEntric mobile Services for social development (VOICES)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2013,

There is widespread agreement that ICT services have the potential to play a major role in furthering social development in developing economies such as those in Africa. However, while there is a great deal of potential and opportunity, the amount and scope of actual mobile ICT services currently in existence in African countries is very limited.The Mobile Web for Social Development Roadmap, recen ...

Dissecting the interaction network of the histone demethylase LSD1 in vivo (LSD1 IMPACT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

"Each cell within an organism contains the same genetic information, however, only a specific subset of genes is transcribed in a given cell at a given time. This cell/stage specific transcription is controlled by the coordinated action of signaling pathways, chromatin associated proteins and transcription factors. Defects in chromatin organization and gene expression due to aberrant activity of c ...

Investigating the causes and consequences of replication stress in mammalian health (RSHEALTH)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2019,

"DNA damage (DD) is the cause of several diseases, including cancer, and it is also linked to the organ decline that arises in ageing. Yet, the contribution of different sources of DD to these processes is not understood. Sources of DD such as chromosome breaks, eroded telomeres or oxidative stress are been heavily investigated. For establishing my group, I decided to focus on a source of DD that ...

Microbial networks for PAC cycling in polluted soils (NETPAC)

Start date: Jun 16, 2015, End date: Jun 15, 2018,

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are major soil pollutants causing special concern due to their high recalcitrance and (geno)toxicity. Despite the extensive knowledge gathered on microbial PAH degradation, current biorestoration technologies are still not sufficiently effective to decontaminate contaminated soils. One of the main characteristics that constrain PAH biodegradability in the en ...

Empowering citizens to make meaningful use of open data (Open4Citizens)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2018,

The project aims at shows the potential of open data to citizens, by creating open playgrounds where citizens, students, experts, start up companies, academia and public institutions can collaborate to generate meaningful applications. Thus, applications that meet citizens' needs and desires and contribute to their everyday life. The playground is a virtual and physical place where citizens, inter ...

Evolutionary conserved T cells specific for a microbial metabolite: deciphering their development in the thymus and mapping their interactions with the gut microbiota in vivo. (MAIT)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

Mucosal Associated Invariant T cells (MAITs) represent an evolutionary conserved subset that express a semi-invariant TCR recognizing a new class of microbial metabolite antigens presented by the MHC class Ib molecule, MR1. In addition to their wide anti-microbial specificity, the high inter-species conservation of both MR1 and invariant TCR infers an important biological role for MAITs. MAITs are ...

EnpAct “engage-participate-act”

Start date: Aug 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2017,

Young people, though being most dynamic and open-minded part of any society, at the same time have proven to be the most indifferent segment of society towards community development, civic participation and policy dialogue. They do not take responsibility for their own future, and follow the stream which they mostly criticize without finding efficient ways of giving constructive feedback. Their lo ...

Training of Trainers and Active Leaders

Start date: May 9, 2016, End date: Jul 8, 2017,

Non-formal education has rising impact on young people all across Europe. European Union is supporting different forms of non-formal education, and includes it in its policies and structures. At the same time, this sector is not fully regulated, and formal approaches to professionalization of education and development of non-formal education staff are uncommon and limited. How to become a trainer? ...

Eco-labels for Sustainable Tourism in Europe: demonstrating how Eco-labels can move the European tourism market towards sustainability (ECO-LAB)

Start date: Jan 1, 2001, End date: Jun 30, 2004,

Background In Europe in 2000 there were around 40 eco-labelling schemes certifying the environmental performance of tourism services. They were notable for the high level of effort made and had developed significant experience, but their effectiveness in penetrating the mainstream tourism market was limited. The beneficiary and its partners felt that a ...

Autonomous Reed Bed Installations (ARBI)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Subsurface-flow constructed wetlands have become a very popular cost effective and green technology for treatment of waste water throughout Europe and the rest of the world. Original predictions over the longevity of constructed wetlands were approximately 50 -100 years (Conley et al 1991). However, it has become disappointingly apparent that these systems are clogging and have on average a life ...
