Industrial polarization imager calibration
In recent years, there has been a revolution in imaging, with a new generation of polarization-sensitive cameras entering mass markets. As we have found out in our ERC-Synergy proj...
AAV9-tRNA-Gly: Towards a first effective therapy for Charcot-Marie-Tooth peripheral neuropathy
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the most common inherited neuromuscular disease, characterized by selective degeneration of peripheral motor and sensory neurons, leading to pr...
Unveiling Networks: Slavery and the European ENcounter with Islamic Material Culture (1580–1700)
From the late sixteenth century, enslaved Muslims were found across Mediterranean Europe, hosted in all major port towns in France, Spain and Italy. Mainly North Africans, Turks an...
Transforming Low-Value Wood Waste into Sustainable, High-Value, High-Performance Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Materials
The rapid advancement of electronic and communication technologies has heightened the complexity of electromagnetic environments, increasing the risk of device malfunctions and hea...
A Digitally-Enabled Electroconductive Patient-Specific Stimulation Implant for Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) can severely impact patients, impairing neurological function. The complex pathophysiology of SCI and the poor growth capacity of neurons results in a mult...
Understanding the Demography and Stratification of Singlehood in Europe
Amid declining marriage and fertility rates, singlehood is rapidly gaining scholarly attention. Yet, singlehood scholarship is remarkably fragmented and underdeveloped. Existing th...
UNalphabeting the Central Dogma of Life
This proposal aims to construct a bacterial strain LIFE-19 which relies solely on 19 amino acids to build all its proteins. While all living cells known to human beings produce pro...
Targeting intracelular RANKL in breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females in the western world, resulting in half a million deaths annually, mainly due to metastatic disease. Triple negative breas...
Diverging patterns of reproductive behavior within countries across the globe
Sweeping transformations in reproductive behavior are taking place worldwide. The DIVREP project investigates an unanticipated, yet critical dimension of these changes: increasing...
Using Kleptoplasty to illuminate the Evolution of Plastids and the Order of Steps during endosymbiosis
Plastids, the photosynthetic organelles of eukaryotes, arose via endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria by a eukaryotic host and were subsequently spread across eukaryotic diversity by add...
PAncreatic Cancer therapeutic discovery using Monoclonal ANtibodies
The PACMAN project aims to develop a novel therapeutic approach for treating pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC), one of the deadliest cancers with limited therapeutic options...
Unveiling lung resilience mechanisms: a ground-breaking way to cope with air pollution
Air pollution, exacerbated by heatwaves and wildfires, affects primarily the lungs, leading to potentially life-threatening effects eluding conventional treatments. In response, KI...
Three-phase Redox Flow Battery
The high cost and poor performance of certain components of redox flow batteries (RFB) such as the ion-exchange membrane, along with material toxicity, fluctuating prices, and limi...
Unravelling the complexity of the reionization history though simulations and multi-wavelength observations
The epoch of Reionization marks the last major transition of the Universe: approximately 400.000 year after the Big bang, the neutral intergalactic medium, mainly composed of hydro...
Unleashing gaze: Neuro-cognitive processes underlying gaze control and perception across free-viewing eye movements
We constantly move our eyes to explore our surroundings. In between short periods of fixation, saccades cause drastic changes to the visual input – yet, we experience a continuous...
Somatostatin Receptor Inhibitors for Sustaining Muscle and Bone Mass Following Pharmacologically Induced Weight Loss
Obesity affects 1 in 6 adults in Europe, driving demand for therapy. Agonists of the Glucagon Like Peptide 1 Receptor (GLP1RAs) such as semaglutide (Novo Nordisk) and tirzepatide (...
Lightsheet Brillouin Nanoscopy: mechano-sensitive superresolution imaging for regenerative medicine
Better microscopes have always triggered scientific discovery. Lightsheet microscopy and nanoscopy are no exception and have initiated knowledge jumps in structural and dynamical i...
MUSICVIM: Musical Instruments as Conveyor of Visual Messages. The case of Ancient Near Eastern Lutes
At a time when electronic and digital musical instruments are increasingly replacing acoustic musical instruments, this project will show that acoustic instruments are complex obje...
Elucidating inner cells contribution to pavement cell shape acquisition in Arabidopsis
In plants, the outermost epidermal cell layer is critical for protecting the entire plant against external threats such as rain, wind and pathogens. The plant epidermis is a comple...
Deciphering the role of Sterol Metabolism in the Plant-Rhizobiome Interaction and their effects in plant performance
Rising global temperatures due to climate change are posing significant challenges for tomato production. High temperatures adversely affect fruit yield and quality, necessitating...
