The genetic basis of meningococcal and other life threatening bacterial infections of childhood (EUCLIDS)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2017,
Bacterial infection is the major cause of disability and death in children worldwide. We will use meningococcal disease (MD) as a model to understand genetic factors underlying susceptibility and severity of childhood bacterial infection which will then be applied to other childhood infections. We have established cohorts of patients with MD in Central and Southern Europe (CE,SE), UK and Africa as ...

Novel Mobile Sonification Process for Local Valorisation of Lignocellulosic (Forest) Materials to produce Valuable Chemicals (BIOSONIC)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
The concept of the Lignocellulosic BioRefinery (LCBR) is gaining ground in the EU, as a way to increase the value obtained from wood waste such as sawdust and chippings, from €50/tonne to potentially as much as €500/tonne. To do this, the LCBR would cleanly fractionate the three components – cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin – without degrading them. (Paper and bioethanol “refineries” create good ...

Innovative high efficiency phase change fluid based heat engine (UP-THERM)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,
A simple and economic engine concept is proposed as an alternative to the conventional heat engine.The main innovative character of the project is determined by the conceptual approach toward technological solution of the challenging problems of heat engines with external heat supply. This approach includes the use of working fluids changing phase, with crucial benefits in terms of:• liquid workin ...

MOFs as Catalysts and Adsorbents: Discovery and Engineering of Materials for Industrial Applications (MACADEMIA)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
A major challenge facing European industry involves the development of more specific, energy saving processes with less environmental impact. The recent development of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) may prove a major milestone in achieving these goals. MACADEMIA project is an extension to an FP6 STREP (DeSANNS) which highlighted some MOF materials for CO2 capture and storage. It will expand and c ...

Genomic determinants of inflammation: from physical measurements to system perturbation and mathematical modeling (Model-In)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mai 2012,
Inflammation is a complex biochemical and cellular response essential for the viability of higher organisms because of its requirement in anti-microbial defence and protection from the consequences of tissue injury. However, uncontrolled or sustained inflammation leads to several diseases with a huge social impact, ranging from autoimmune diseases to septic shock and cancer. While the requirement ...
