Elucidating Pathways of Steatohepatitis (EPoS)
Date du début: 1 mai 2015, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2019,
Strongly associated with the epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that are testing healthcare systems worldwide, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is an increasingly common cause of advanced liver disease in the aging population of Europe. NAFLD is a spectrum of hepatic fat accumulation (steatosis); steatosis plus inflammation (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, NASH); fibr ...

Scalable, point-of-care and label free microarray platform for rapid detection of Sepsis (RAIS)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,
The diagnosis and management of acute Sepsis is a critical area where fast and accurate results can translate into life changing health outcomes for individuals. The overall aim of RAIS is to develop a new point-of-care label-free microarray platform and validate it for quantifying levels of specific Sepsis’ biomarkers. The approach uses a novel interferometric technique ultimately capable of prov ...

Living Photonics: Monitoring light propagation through cells (LiPhos)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,
LIPHOS is focused on the development of completely innovative biophotonic diagnosis tools, which are for the first time implemented using cells as constituent material. Here, and unlike existing systems, light remains confined in a waveguide whose core is uniquely composed by cells, giving rise to the "Living photonics" concept. In this context, cells play a two-fold role: i) they form the biomate ...

ICT-enabled, cellular artificial liver system incorporating personalized patient management and support (d-LIVER)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
d-LIVER applies scenario-driven development methodologies to address an unmet need for bio-artificial liver support via continuous detoxification as remote transient therapy at the Point-of-Need. The liver is a complex organ with various vital functions in synthesis, detoxification and regulation; its failure is life-threatening and the only curative treatment is transplantation. Whilst awaiting t ...

Innovative After-Treatment System for Marine Diesel Engine Emission Control (DEECON)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2014,
"The emission of exhaust gases from ships has been recognised as a main source of pollution causing a significant exposure risk to people living close to harbours or coastal areas. In spite of the large contribution to air pollution by maritime transport, this sector has remained largely unregulated until now. The adoption of the new restrictive IMO emission regulations requires modification of th ...

NANO-OPTICAL MECHANICAL SYSTEMS (NOMS)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
Nano-optical mechanical actuation based on nanotube-enriched polymeric materials is a much sought-after technology. In this scheme, light sources promote mechanical actuation of the polymeric materials producing a variety of nano–optical mechanical systems such as tactile displays, artificial muscles, and nano-grippers among others. The purpose of the NOMS project is to fabricate microsystems capa ...

Coeliac Disease – Management, Monitoring and Diagnosis using Biosensors and an Integrated Chip System (CD-MEDICS)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2012,
The overall concept of the CD-MEDICS IP is to develop a technology platform for point-of-care diagnostics, capable of simultaneous genomic and proteomic detection, with embedded communication abilities for direct interfacing with hospital information systems. This will be achieved by exploiting breakthroughs at the confluences of bio-, micro- and nano- technologies to create a low-cost non-invasiv ...
