NANODELIVERY OF SPECIFIC GENOME ENGINEERING TOOLS AS A NOVEL THERAPEUTIC APPROACH FOR AGGRESSIVE PROSTATE CANCERS
Prostate cancer is the second most common diagnosed malignancy and the fifth leading cause of cancer mortality in men. Whilst primary tumours respond well to therapy, tumours in th...
The Enriched Primate
Of 504 primate species currently recognized worldwide, almost half are classified as endangered or critically endangered. Captive breeding is vital for primate conservation, with m...
Towards Transnational Labour Rights? Temporary Work Agencies and Third Country National Workers in the EU.
The last two decades have seen the EU grappling with a direct conflict of interests; the securitization of its external borders and the demand for a low-cost flexible workforce whi...
Wildsmoke: Forest Fire and Our Senses in the North, 1911-1961
Wildsmoke examines the history of transient wildfire smoke in the northern hemisphere as part of past and continuing environmental change. The project traces smoke across political...
Forensic Hydrogeology
Contaminant events disrupt stability and resilience of increasingly vulnerable soil and groundwater. Identifying where, when and how much contaminant spill is released into aquifer...
Subaqueous spreading: characteristics, evolution and its suitability as a paleoseismic proxy
Soil spreading is an extensional creeping movement occurring along a shear surface and caused by liquefaction of a gliding plane. Spreading has been documented at many sites worldw...
Evolution of Xylan Utilization Loci 's enzymes for the design of enzymatic assemblies
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is a renewable and inexhaustible carbon source on Earth and its valorisation will drive sustainable circular bioeconomy. Microorganisms involved in LC...
Upgrading the Fuzzy Dark Matter Model
The project will illuminate implications for cosmic structure formation of the hypothesis that dark matter consists of ultra-light scalar particles, generically labeled as Axion-li...
The inhibition synergism of some plant extracts and common inorganic inhibitors to enhance the corrosion control of the embedding steel bars in concrete
Concrete structures are often strengthened by embedding steel ribs which is known as reinforcement in concrete. Prime setback of reinforcement in concrete is corrosion. Corrosion o...
The contribution of mycorrhizal fungi to multifunctionality in global drylands
Dryland ecosystems are a key terrestrial biome, covering 45% of the Earth´s surface and supporting over 38% of the total global population, but their functioning and the goods and...
Opening Romanticism: Reimagining Romantic Drama for New Audiences
The substantial bibliography devoted to the work of Frances Burney (1757-1840) has confirmed her stature as an author, but it has left the dramatic works that she wrote during her...
Role of PSIP1 in prostate cancer development and drug resistance
Understanding the cancer-specific genetic alterations is fundamental to devising novel treatment modalities. This project aims at understanding the role of PSIP1, posterior homeoti...
INTER-REGULATION OF CIRCADIAN AND AUTOPHAGIC PROCESSES IN STEM CELLS: IMPACT ON TISSUE REGENERATION AND AGING
Regeneration of skeletal muscle relies on its stem cells, also called satellite cells (SCs). These cells remain quiescent throughout their life, and only activate in response to in...
Synthesis and nanostructuration of a Pi-conjugated polymer for dye sensitized solar cells
π-Conjugated semiconducting organic polymers have gained a widespread interest for their potential application in thefabrication of organic electronic devices. Efficiency of these...
Emotion Recognition: A Statistical Learning Approach
Statistical learning refers to the ability to learn through the discovery of patterns and structures. I propose to investigate emotion recognition using a statistical learning pers...
INtersensory Cooperation in phonological DEvelopment
This proposal investigates the functional role of sensorimotor maturation in two early phonological achievements: phonological specialization (partA) and the emergence of early pro...
Copper-Catalyzed Multicomponent Reactions in Tandem Processes for Target Molecule Synthesis
The invention of processes that can form several bonds, stereocentres and rings in a single process is key to a sustainable future in synthetic chemistry. Multicomponent reactions...
Microbial community response to the invasion of a non-endemic fungal bio-inoculant in soil
Fungi and bacteria are utilised for the production of microbial-based fertilisers and pesticides worldwide. These bioinoculants have a huge potential in agriculture because they ca...
Enabling the scalable and cheap production of efficient and stable organic-based photovoltaic technology realized via printing techniques, for electricity generation
The reduction of greenhouse emissions is currently acknowledged as a major European objective, and by 2040 a 40% emissions cut is expected, with renewable sources contributing up t...
Adaptive and personalized neuromotor rehabilitation of persons with Multiple Sclerosis: from characterization to exploitation of residual sensorimotor abilities using a body-machine interface
The project AIMS AT developing and validating a novel approach to neuromotor rehabilitation of persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS), rooted in the physiological mechanisms of rec...
