A COST-EFFICIENT, AUTOMATED, MACHINE STRENGH GRADING SYSTEM FOR SAWN TIMBER (WOODSONICS)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,
WoodSonics responds to a need in the EU sawmill sector to improve competitiveness by implementing machine strength grading of structural timber at SME sawmills. In the context of a serious crisis in the construction sector, significant savings in production costs and the optimisation of yield through the use of machine strength grading systems can help SME sawmills survive. However, the current co ...

Engineering multifunctional superparamagnetic nanoparticles for long-term stem cell tracking (StemTrack)
Date du début: 1 mars 2011, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2014,
Regenerative therapies involving stem cells are now beginning to realise their potential. Their use for bone marrow transplantation is already a reality and their potential for the treatment of other degenerative diseases is being studied in clinical trials throughout the world. One of the challenges in stem cell therapy is the possibility to monitor the fate of stem cells once they are transplant ...

Ivestigating the ability of embryonic stem cell derivatives to improve renal function in a murine model of kidney disease (KidRegen)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
The number of people world-wide with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasing every year. Current treatment options consist of dialysis and transplantation, both of which have significant side effects in terms of quality and quantity of life. Therefore there is an urgent need to develop alternative therapies. My recent work has shown that if mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) are directed to di ...

Developing a stem cell based therapy to replace nephrons lost through reflux nephropathy (RENALSTEM)
Date du début: 1 août 2008, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2010,
"The prevalence of end stage renal disease (ESRD) continues to grow worldwide. Current treatment options for ESRD are peritoneal dialysis, haemodialysis, or renal transplantation, all of which have significant drawbacks both in terms of quality and quantity of life. In children and young adults, the most common cause of ESRD is vesicoureteric reflux (VUR), a condition where urine from the bladder ...
