REnewable FunctIoNal matErial – Training material scientists for a sustainable polymer industry (REFINE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"The plastic industry contributes around 23% of the total sales in the European chemical industry but is traditionally heavily reliant on petrochemicals for their raw material, additives and reaction media (solvents). REFINE will develop sustainable routes to functional materials (green routes) for various polymer/plastic applications. The network will make use of integrated approaches combining g ...

Cell Wall Biology in Oomycete Pathogenicity (CBOP)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2013,

"The cell wall is a dynamic extracellular compartment protecting the cell, providing rigidity, and playing an essential role in the uptake of molecules and signalling. In pathogenic organisms, the cell wall is at the forefront of disease, providing contact between the pathogen and host. Oomycetes are Eukaryotic microbes that superficially resemble fungi, but are genetically dissimilar. They cause ...
