Comparison and rigidity for scalar curvature
Questions involving the scalar curvature bridge many areas inside mathematics including geometric analysis, differential geometry and algebraic topology, and they are naturally rel...
Silicon opto-electro-mechanics for bridging the gap between photonics and microwaves
Conversion between electrical and optical signals enabled the use of near-infrared (near-IR) photons for high data rate transmission through optical fibre networks.Likewise, cohere...
Atomic scale coherent manipulation of the electron spin in semiconductors
Currently, a great deal of experimental research is dedicated to implement qubits on a wide variety of physical systems.In the last decade researchers have observed optically-activ...
Infectious disease outbreaks as contributors to socio-cultural transformations in the 2nd millennium BCE
In recent years, rapid developments in the field of ancient metagenomics, enabled through advances in genomic sequencing and ancient DNA retrieval, have provided temporal transects...
Environmental landscape ethics: a theory of cohabitability
This project seeks to establish a new environmental ethics subfield, environmental landscape ethics, and to develop a new theory around the notion of cohabitability as a focal anal...
The geometrical and physical basis of cell-like functionality
Can systems with life-like properties be built from scratch with only a minimal set of components?While progress has been made experimentally in the development of such minimal sys...
Multifunctional Platform Technology for Magnetically Actuated Controlled Drug Release from Biodegradable Scaffolds
The extremely popular engineering field of drug-eluting biodegradable scaffolds for regenerative medicine, cancer treatment and cardiovascular therapies has largely failed to ensur...
Nanoscintillators to potentiate brain cancer radiotherapy: from physics to preclinical trials
More than 50% of cancer patients undergo radiation therapy (RT) in the course of their treatment.However, because of a lack of specificity for tumor tissues, delivering therapeutic...
Molecular mechanisms through which oocytes evade ageing
Female germ cells, oocytes, have the remarkable ability to survive for long periods of time, up to 50-years in humans, while retaining the ability to give rise to a new organism.We...
Environmental control of physiology through the brain-gut axis
A series of tightly controlled processes ensure that energy is either stored or consumed within an organism. This control is central to survival and prosperity of the animal, yet w...
GROUP MINDS IN ANCIENT NARRATIVE
Social cognition is a crucial category of both life and narratives.We read stories about people who engage in social interactions, act on shared emotions and thoughts, and often vi...
Catalysis for Cancer Treatment.
The increased incidence and mortality of tumors that do not respond to standard of care or other targeted therapies is a major challenge in clinical management of these cancer pati...
Faith-Based Refugee Relief in Europe: Connecting the Empirical and the Ethical
FABRIC develops a new ethics of migration by understanding and utilizing the moral insights and the moral ideas that faith-based refugee relief organizations develop and deploy in...
Resolving metabolic interactions between the gut microbiota and the host with multi-omics-based modelling
The gut microbiota is essential to human health: microorganisms in the human body help to digest nutrients, engage in host metabolism, immunity, behaviour and brain functions.Since...
Changing landscapes: hormonal fluctuations and neurocognitive functioning across the female lifespan
Puberty, menstrual cycle, and menopause are all critical periods in a female’s life characterized by drastic changes in sex hormone concentrations.These periods are also associated...
Crystalline Oxides Platform for Hybrid Silicon Photonics
Silicon (Si) photonics stands as a solid candidate to address the scaling challenges of emerging communication systems with an ever-growing number of interconnected devices.However...
From Behavior to Values: An Unexplored Process of Personal Value Development
Given their role as powerful motivators of behavior, values are a key focus of educational programs, but are difficult to remold once set.Our and other’s recent longitudinal studie...
Metabolic regulation of the skeletal stem cell niche
The continued health of many of our organs, including the skeleton, relies on the function of specialized stem cells. These stem cells reside in niches that support their long-term...
Blockchain4Biodiversity: A Digital Farmers’ Market Incentivizing Sustainable Innovations with Indigenous Seeds
Agrobiodiversity, particularly farmers indigenous seeds and associated know-how (ISK), hosts a wealth of plant genetic resources that contribute to global food security and sustain...
Applying novel single-cell multiomics to elucidate leukaemia cell plasticity in resistance to targeted therapy
Novel targeted therapies are increasingly applied against a wide range of cancers. Although such agents can induce cures, most patients suffer from relapsed disease.Acute myeloid l...
