Advanced Particle Phenomenology in the LHC era (LHCPHENONET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is the largest and most complex single experiment ever performed in the history of mankind. The physics program of the LHC is motivated by fundamental questions about the laws of nature, such as explaining the origin of mass, understanding the early universe and the structure of space and time, unravelling the nature of dark matter and providing glimpses of ...

NMR for Structural Biology (Bio-NMR)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

In the past two decades spectacular insight into basic principles of life has been obtained from paradigmatic high-resolution structural investigations providing a rational basis for biological experiments. NMR is an indispensable enabling technology for determining such structures and their interactions in solution, the immobilized state and living cells. The power of NMR to link structural, dyna ...

Bioactive block copolymer vesicles as pH-triggerable, nano particulate carriers for cancer vaccination (PolyTRIGG)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2014,

"Advanced designed vaccines have to combine proper antigen with the effective immune-stimulating agents (adjuvants) and delivery strategies in order to attain successful treatment. Presently, most vaccines are given as liquid formulations by intramuscular administration. However, nano-sized carriers of antigens hold great promise to be more effective delivery systems. To achieve the desired anti-c ...

Protein-based ATRP catalysts: From Nanoreactors to ATRPases (ProteinATRP)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) is the most successful and widely applied controlled radical polymerization process and has emerged as one of the most powerful synthetic techniques in polymer science. Chain termination reactions are suppressed and the growth of the chains proceeds in a controlled way. It allows precise control of the polymer’s molecular weight, achieving a narrow molec ...

Cenozoic evolution of the Indonesian Throughflow and the origins of Indo-Pacific marine biodiversity: Mapping the biotic response to environmental change (THROUGHFLOW)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

A critical agenda for earth and life sciences is to determine how diverse tropical marine ecosystems such as coral reefs will respond to global environmental change. This will require long-term environmental and ecological data that rarely exist for living coral reefs. In contrast, the fossil record provides abundant examples that can be mined to predict future outcomes. The THROUGHFLOW network wi ...

Intelligent personal protective clothing for the use with high-power hand-held laser processing devices (PROSYS-LASER)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Prosys-Laser is dedicated to develop highly innovative “passive” and “active” laser protective clothing for the use with hand-held laser processing devices (HLD), which are not available on the market today. Major project objectives are: a) Open new markets for high performance PPE and its testing, especially enforcing participating SME to widen their product range and directly benefit from projec ...

Nanoreactors for controlled radical polymerizations based on the thermosome from Thermoplasma acidophilum: Templating synthesis of polymer nanoparticles and in-situ regeneration of the template (ThermosomeNanoReact)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2011,

Polymer nanoparticles have found applications in high performance materials and in medical applications. An attractive route to these particles is the use of templates. However, templating methods have the disadvantage that one templating entity is needed for every object that is formed. The ideal template for polymerizations would therefore be a nanoreactor that regenerates itself once the nanopa ...
