Establishment of a Center of Plant Systems Biology and Biotechnology for the translation of fundamental research into sustainable bio-based technologies in Bulgaria (PlantaSYST)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2016,

Despite the adoption of several reform programs Bulgaria still has the lowest research and innovation index of all EU Member states. Key reasons for Bulgaria’s comparatively poor record of innovation are the insufficient investment in R&D, fluctuating labour force, the almost non-existent linkages between research and the needs of the productive sector and a lack of high-tech science and business ...

Novel Polysaccharide Modifying Enzymes to Optimise the Potential of Hydrocolloids for Food and Medical Applications (PolyModE)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

The PolyModE project convenes an international, interdisciplinary, and intersectorial consortium to identify, characterise, and optimise novel polysaccharide modifying enzymes, and to develop robust fermentation strategies for their large-scale production, to exploit the potential of biopolymers for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and technical applications. We have selected the six complex carboh ...

Translational study on the antigen presenting properties of human vs mouse B cell subpopulations (BcellsMiceToMen)

Start date: Apr 15, 2010, End date: Apr 14, 2013,

Our recent results on antitumor effects of carbohydrate mimotope peptides (CMP) suggest a possible role of carbohydrate reactive B cell subpopulations as cellular adjuvants. As an abundant alternative of dendritic cells, CD40-activated B cells can efficiently present specific antigens being expandable for several weeks. Some B cells can be sufficiently detrimental to warrant anti-B cell therapy in ...

Building a cooperative strategy between Europe and Mediterranean Countries for upgrading tuberculosis research and control (EUMEDNETvsTB)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

Tuberculosis (TB) accounts amongst the most deadly infectious diseases worldwide. Despite the availability of a vaccine and effective drugs, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of TB, still defies the humanity. An alarming increase in drug resistance and emergence of outbreaks has made it urgent the need for increased surveillance and control. With its structured global geographical di ...

"GLOBAL SOLUTION FOR SLAUGHTERHOUSES, TANNERIES AND PHYTOSANITARY SECTORS: TREATMENT OF CATEGORY 3 ANIMAL WASTES AND PRODUCTION HIGH VALUE PRODUCT WITH BIO-PESTICIDE PROPERTIES" (APTAR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2012,

"Before the implementation of the new European Regulation1 (3 October 2002) because the break out of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) most animal wastes were gathered by specialised companies for transforming them into other derivatives (i.e. feeding flour of animal origin) that have caused multiple problems of infections in all Europe known in the 90s as “Mad Cow Disease”. Nowadays, those w ...

Non-conventional methods for galanthamine bioproduction (GALBIOPRO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2007, End date: Sep 30, 2008,

The overall aim of the project is to achieve a stable and sustained reintegration of Dr Milen Georgiev at the Host Institute (Stephan Angeloff Institute of Microbiology). This will be reached through the implementation of the scientific project. The general objective of the scientific project is to create an alternative approach for galanthamine bioproduction. This aim will be achieved through int ...
