Smart Wearable Robots with Bioinspired Sensory-Motor Skills (BioMot)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
Wearable robots (WR) are person-oriented devices, usually in the form of exoskeletons. These devices are worn by human operators to enhance or support a daily function, such as walking. WRs find applications in the enhancement of intact operators or in clinical environments, e.g. rehabilitation of gait function in neurologically injured patients. Most advanced WRs for human locomotion still fail t ...

Marine Microorganisms: Cultivation Methods for Improving their Biotechnological Applications (MACUMBA)
Date du début: 1 août 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
Marine microorganisms form an almost untapped resource of biotechnological potential. However, its use is hindered by the low success rate of isolation of novel microorganisms and often by poor growth efficiency. Hence, the vast majority of marine microorganisms has not been cultivated and is often considered as ‘unculturable’. MaCuMBA aims at improving the isolation rate and growth efficiency of ...

Empowering root-targeted strategies to minimize abiotic stress impacts on horticultural crops (ROOTOPOWER)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
ROOTOPOWER aims to develop a multidisciplinary suite of new tools targeted to the root system to enhance agronomic stability and sustainability of dicotyledonous crops under multiple and combined abiotic stresses: salinity, water stress, soil compaction and low fertilizer (N, P, K) input. Central to our approach is the use of tomato as a model species since it can be very easily grafted (usual com ...

European Clearing House for Open Robotics Development (ECHORD)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
Description
Strengthening the knowledge transfer between scientific research and industry in robotics and stimulating their cooperation
In Europe the robotics industry is strong, but still fragmented and dispersed. The objective of ECHORD is to provide new opportunities for coordinated and target- ...

Uncovering the postembryonic function of embryonic lethal genes in Arabidopsis thaliana (CLONAL)
Date du début: 1 juin 2009, Date de fin: 31 mai 2013,
"Genes with essential functions have been identified in plants through the isolation of gametophytic-lethal and embryonic-lethal mutations. If lethality is a sign of the important metabolic, cellular or developmental function of a given gene, then we may expect some of these genes to also play crucial roles later in plant development. Because homozygotes are not viable or cannot be obtained, the f ...

Molecular coding and subset specification of dopamine neurons generating the the meso-limbic and nigro-striatal system (mdDANEURODEV)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
This project aims to elucidate the molecular coding of meso-diencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons forming the complex meso-limbic and nigro-striatal dopaminergic system in the vertebrate central nervous system. Recent advances in molecular and developmental biology have shown that this system harbors u multitude of functional units that are defined by spatial and temporal cues and are represen ...

Combating Antibiotics Resistant Pneumococci by Novel Strategies Based on in vivo and in vitro Host – Pathogen Interactions (CAREPNEUMO)
Date du début: 1 mars 2009, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2012,
"The diseases caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae are a major public health problem all over the world. Children, elderly people and immuno-compromised individuals are the high-risk targets for pneumococcal diseases. In spite of the availability of a large number of antibiotics the mortality and morbidity due to S. pneumoniae infections remain very high. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, the ...

Developmental Molecular Pathways in Drosophila as a Model for Human Cancer (CancerPathways)
Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2011,
Cancer is often characterized as a disease of signal transduction pathways, since it is frequently associated with inappropriate activation of such pathways. Indeed, new therapeutic approaches in cancer therapy, such as Herceptin, frequently target signaling pathway components to revert their pathophysiological aberrations. Most oncogenic pathways have been highly conserved throughout evolution wi ...

Small Area Methods for Poverty and Living Condition Estimates (SAMPLE)
Date du début: 1 mars 2008, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2011,
It is well known that in order to ensure a good allocation of public funds and to guarantee the rights of final users of the statistics (government, research institutes and citizens) statistical data on monetary and supplementary poverty indicators have to be timely and effective. Effectiveness of statistical data is a function of their spatial relevance and accuracy. Often official data are refer ...

An Integrated Wireless and Traffic Platform for Real-Time Road Traffic Management Solutions (iTETRIS)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2008, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2011,
Wireless vehicular cooperative systems have been identified as an attractive solution to improve road traffic management, thereby contributing to the European goal of safer, cleaner, and more efficient and sustainable traffic solutions. The use of V2V and V2I communication technologies can not only help reducing road fatalities but also a more efficient and adaptive traffic management that contrib ...

Analysis of Neuregulin-1 function in the maturation of cortical GABAergic interneurons: Implications for the etiology of schizophrenia (GABACORT)
Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2010,
"Schizophrenia is a psychiatric illness affecting nearly 1% of the population that is though to arise as a consequence of abnormal brain development. Structural deficits are relatively subtle in schizophrenia; however, there is evidence for a reduced volume of the neocortex, probably linked to perturbed development of the neuropil, and significant alterations in GABAergic neurotransmission in pat ...

In vivo studies and screens for new factors that promote or suppress tumor metastasis (FINDMETASTASIS)
Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2010,
"Metastasis is the process whereby a primary tumor (usually highly malignant in nature) spreads to distant locations in the body. Understanding step-by-step how particular confined tumors acquire invasiveness and/or spreading potential is a scientific challenge that can help us to develop new strategies for metastatic cancer prevention or treatment. In mouse models and in humans, the inactivation ...
