From wild to crop: unravelling the impact of root domestication on drought tolerance
Crop domestication revolutionised human life. This process induced changes in plant traits that produced plants that grew faster and generated higher yields. However, remarkably li...
Improving QMRI By Realizing trustworthy integration of AI in Neuro-imaging
MRI is a key methodology in modern neuroimaging, but conventional MRI relies on visual interpretation of intensity differences in the images, which is heavily dependent on scanner...
Future RAW materials demand, supply and sustainability in the face of CLImate Change
RAWCLICs main goal is to develop knowledge on the future raw materials (RMs) demand, supply and associated environmental impacts induced by the twin transition in the EU, and to su...
Contested EU Foreign Policy in an Era of Geopolitics
The doctoral network EUFOG will contribute to a better understanding of the ways in which the EU is reconsidering key tenets of its international role in the face of the geopolitic...
Ultra-Efficient Highly-Integrated 1200V Powertrains for Electric Vehicles Enabling Next-Gen Charging Speeds and Compatibility Across Charger Generations
Current mass-market electric vehicles (EVs) commonly operate at a voltage level of 400V. There is however a clear trend to increase the voltage level towards 800V and beyond, as th...
Integrated multi-angle research and training network to eradicate leukemia minimal residual disease
An estimated 300,000 new cases of leukemia are diagnosed each year globally. The most common form of acute leukemia is acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is generally a disease of...
Investigating the role of the intercrypt goblet cells in inflammatory bowel diseases.
The mucus layer produced by the goblet cells (GCs), provides the barrier between the microbiota and the intestine preventing the occurrence of the inflammation process. Indeed, alt...
Tracking Nanomaterial Performance, Towards Digital Twins of Quantum Dots Under Loading
Quantum dots (QDs) exemplify the successful transfer of innovative nanomaterials from a lab-scale invention to a technology that offers better and more power-efficient electronic d...
Management of avian influenza in a vaccination context
While outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) in Europe used to be rare and geographically contained, the situation has dramatically changed in the last few...
Proteomics of neuroinflammatory signaling: Illuminating cellular mechanisms driving neurodegenerative diseases
Alzheimers (AD) and Parkinsons disease (PD) are prevalent neurodegenerative diseases, but their underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Emerging evidence suggests that neur...
MYcotoxin MAnagement (AI)platform To face CC impact on food safety and Human Health
Climate change amplifies food safety risks by fostering the proliferation of pathogens and contaminants in the food supply chain, and introducing unfamiliar or novel hazards. Among...
Building multidisciplinary evidence to support Integrating Malaria VACcine with Seasonal malaria chemoprevention in West Africa
Despite available efficacy data on two malaria vaccines designed for broad use, there is little evidence about scalable delivery strategies in areas with seasonal malaria transmiss...
Understanding vaccination hesitancy and evaluating single dose and gender-neutral vaccination for improving uptake of HPV vaccines in West and East Africa.
Cervical cancer, caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), is almost entirely preventable through prophylactic HPV vaccination. Many countries have yet to implement HPV vaccination pro...
The genomic impact of ancient structural variants on species extinction
In this proposal, I seek to quantify the impact of structural variants on species genome diversity and extinction by sequencing ancient genomes of extinct megafauna. Structural var...
Mohorovičić discontinuity and Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary
The Moho and lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) are two of the most important boundaries in the Earth. The Moho is the greatest manifestation of the chemically differentiated...
Probing the malignant potential of mutant clones in healthy mammary tissue by successive mutagenesis
Mutant cells are abundant in normal tissues, but only very few will transform into life-threatening cancer. The triggers for these mutant clones to transform are unclear. Phylogene...
Photography in the Making of Knowledge: European Art-historical and Scientific Investigations on Asia
The history of photography shares a profound connection with the history of the modern scientific disciplines, including art history, anthropology, and archaeology, as well as mode...
Comparative physiology of adaptation to cold-extremes in boreal ants
The acquisition of cold-tolerance is one of the most ecologically relevant processes for ectotherms inhabiting temperate and boreal climates. Given the fundamental importance of co...
Engineering Synthetic Cells for Artificial Phagocytosis with Superselectivity
enCAPS will produce the first Phagocytic Synthetic Cell capable of superselective artificial phagocytosis. Artificial phagocytosis aims to mimic the complex mechanisms used by cell...
Language contact and heterogeneity in the Hybrid Chinese dialects in North-West China
This project focusses on highly endangered hybrid Chinese dialects spoken in the Gansu-Qinghai aera, namely Wutun, Zhoutun, Gangou, Xining, Linxia and Tangwang, which are reputed t...
