Synthetic biology – Engaging with New and Emerging Science and Technology in Responsible Governance of the Science and Society Relationship (SYN-ENERGENE)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2013, Date de fin: 30 juin 2017,

Synthetic biology (SynBio) offers huge potential for applications in energy, health and the environment. It also brings with it various challenges such as regulatory issues of biosafety, biosecurity and intellectual property rights, as well as potential environmental and socio-economic risks in developing countries. As yet, however, there is scant public knowledge about the technology. It is thus ...

Nanosystems for the early Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative diseases (NADINE)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2010, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,

Medical diagnosis is currently undergoing a major revolution due to the fast discovery of molecular biomarkers, and the development of multimodal “metabiomarker” signatures. Progress, however, is hindered by low abundance of many biomarkers of interest in body fluids, in absolute concentration and with regard to other biomolecules. The aim of the present project is to apply these progresses in bio ...

Signs and States: Semiotics of the Modern State (SAS)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,

"One of the features of the modern state in its early phase is the development of distinctively political societies: in both Italian cities (from the 12th century) and western monarchies (from the late 13th), exclusively interpersonal links or the arbitral powers of family or social group leaders, although still important, had to compete with other sources of authority. All decisions about justice ...
