Stochastic Rewind and fast-forward: calibrating LISA with LIGO's black holes and stochastic background
The direct detection of gravitational waves from binary stellar-mass black hole systems in our Universe provides a wealth of astrophysical information which is now within our reach...
Precise X-Y-Z Readout with a micro-Magnetometer Inverted-pyramid Design
Chip-scale magnetometers come in several flavors, the most common being silicon Hall-effect plates that integrate easily with electronics.However, these devices only detect 1D fiel...
Stone monument ensambles and the climate change impact
Given the fast pace of climate change there is an urgent need to address the threats it poses on cultural heritage (CH) by a holistic framework that will engage scientists, conserv...
Inadequate migration of Leishmania-infected macrophages – the driver of parasite dissemination?
Leishmania parasites, a threat to 350 million people worldwide, are transmitted by sand flies and reside predominantly intracellularly in macrophages.Leishmania species can remain...
Neuroendocrine regulation of Phlebotomus perniciosus immunity and microbiota: fighting Leishmania infection
Vector-borne diseases create considerable risks to human health. Leishmaniases are a group of neglected vector-borne diseases caused by protists parasites from the Leishmania genus...
The foreign soldier’s transnational experience in the Nazi military (sphere) – A biographical study of conscripts and volunteers from BeNeLux and their military and individual experience in WWII
Over two million foreigners served in the ranks of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. They came from different occupied territories and war zones, or even from uninvolved and neutral cou...
EXPloring opportunitiEs for developing a risk and resilience climate service baseD on bIg daTa and machinE learning
Despite the urgent need for adopting multi-hazard risk approaches and for the implementation of resilience-enhancing measures inthe EU and at the global scale, several challenges f...
IMaging PROstate cancer using ViscoElastic biomarkers and a novel transurethral viscoelastic elastography procedure
IMPROVE aims to demonstrate the potentiality of Transurethral Shear Wave Viscoelastic Elastography (TUSWAVE) for ‘improving’ the diagnosis of Prostate Cancer (PCa) by identifying i...
Probing Matter at the Extreme Conditions with Neutron Stars
In this proposal, we will probe the properties of nuclear matter at extreme conditions of pressure and gravity using neutron stars as astrophysical laboratories. We will study diff...
Dissecting the molecular basis of immunological memory in human T cells
T lymphocytes are essential for immunity to pathogens and malignancies.Activated T cells can retain a memory imprint of their adversary (e.g. a virus), enabling them to respond mor...
Disentangling the early-life environmental determinants of pediatric LIVER injury: An eXposome-wide approach
LIVER-X addresses an important question: how does the environment impact the developmental origins of liver health and disease?Poor liver health in childhood represents a major pub...
Deciphering the molecular mechanism of inflammation orchestrated by keratinocytes during Staphylococcus aureus infection in the skin
The skin provides a physical and immunological barrier to external environment and its homeostasis depends on interactions between keratinocytes, peripheral nerves, immune cells an...
RNA and Cell Biology - from Fundamental Research to Therapies
Polish science, including biomedical research, has made huge advances in the last 30-years.However, the advancement of its fundamental scientific discoveries toward medical or comm...
Metabolomics InveStigation of cyStic fIbrosis pulmOnary exacerbatioNs
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal genetic disease affecting 1 out of 2500 newborns.In CF patients, compromised innate immunity enhances the susceptibility to colonization of lower a...
MaterHypoBiota: Exploring the role of maternal gut microbiota on hypothalamic neurodevelopment and metabolic programming in offspring.
The alarmingly high incidence of obesity, particularly in children, highlights the need to better understand the factors and mechanisms involved in the early development of this pa...
Hydrodynamics of Double Membrane Spreading in Biology
Eukaryotic cells exist in highly dynamic environments and are subject to a variety of existential threats, ranging from viruses to pathological defects in their own genome.To cope...
Polar Night/Midnight Sun: A history of sleep and time in the Arctic, 1800-1900
Sleep is universal to the human experience. A core element of our daily (circadian) rhythms, sleep is a biological and a cultural phenomenon. When we sleep, how we feel about sleep...
Dynamic system strategies for climate social tipping points
Society is currently struggling to manage a complex set of socio-ecological challenges related to climate change. Solutionsrange from reducing our consumption to novel technology u...
non-thermal Radiation from AStrophysical jets: from theory of Plasma turbulence to Observations
Relativistic jets from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) have fascinated astronomers for decades.Despite its importance for multi-messenger astronomy, astrop...
Engineering and structure of transient ionotropic glutamate receptor complexes
