The world’s first needle-free continuous glucose monitor to prevent and manage diabetes at scale
Diabetes is one of the biggest health concerns globally: 6% of the world’s population already lives with diabetes, and another 35% is at a high risk of developing it.Proper managem...
Efficient bio-production of next generation dyes for sustainable fashion
We are using biotechnology to address three global problems, sustainability, pollution, waste management. We produce eco-friendly, high-performance textile dyes from microorganisms...
Determining the mechanisms behind goblet cell dysfunction
Goblet cells are specialized epithelial cells that secrete mucus and antimicrobial proteins which together form the gut mucus barrier.The mucus barrier protects the host from bacte...
Complex Exciton Dynamics in Materials: a First-Principles Computational Approach
Understanding the energetics and dynamics of excited states formed by light-matter interactions is essential for applications across optoelectronics and photophysics.In systems of...
The Social Dilemma of Self-Reliance
To tackle global challenges like climate change or pandemics, large-scale cooperation is needed.Cooperation and its maintenance are traditionally seen as a conflict between pro-soc...
Light-responsive microalgal living materials
Nature fabricates materials with remarkable properties, having the ability to grow, move and sense their environment. Such dynamic and interactive materials are in strong contrast...
Gaseous detectors for neutrino physics at the European Spallation Source
The recent detection of the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEnNS) opens the possi- bility of using neutrinos to explore physics beyond the Standard Model deploying s...
Two-dimensional Dipolar Quantum Gases: Fluctuations and Orders.
Ordering in two-dimensional (2D) worlds is fundamentally different from what we know in 3D: Thermal fluctuations preclude conventional long-range order. An unconventional ordering...
Integrated Services for Infectious Disease Outbreak Research
The ISIDORe consortium, made of the capacities of European ESFRI infrastructures and coordinated networks, proposes to assemble the largest and most diverse research and service pr...
Teaching and learning practices calculus in the 18th century: the case of Italian mathematics and its European dimension
The aim of this project is to rewrite the history of differential and integral calculus in 18th century Europe focusing on the processes of acquisition and circulation of teaching...
Staying at home - the interplay between behavioural synchronisation and physical distancing in prosocial behaviour
The COVID-19 outbreak is a public health and economic crisis, unprecedented in human history and as the epidemic progresses, it becomes obvious that human behaviour plays a crucial...
Advanced Technology for Microbial Electro-Synthesis of Platform cHemicals and Efficient in-situ Recovery via Electrodialysis
Reduction of carbon emission to the atmosphere has become a key target to preserve the planet from its dramatic effects.The EU aims to become the first climate-neutral bloc by 2050...
3D architectures of Mxenes for Terahertz Applications
The terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum finds application in different areas such as security checks, biology, detection of drugs and explosives, imaging and ast...
Microplastic removal from water using purposely-designed biodegradable gelatine hydrogels
The abundance of microplastics in the environment, and in water in particular, is a growing concern. Kosuth et al. (2018) showed that they were present in 81% of 159 drinking water...
Azabicycloalkanes: Synthesis and Applications
Small ring azabicyclic amines are predicted to possess unique molecular properties, but lack of synthetic access has to date prevented their thorough evaluation and deployment in h...
Comparison of implicit and explicit learning abilities in human adults, children, apes and monkeys
Psychology of human learning distinguishes implicit learning, i.e. the incidental acquisition of unconscious knowledge, from explicit learning, i.e. the deliberate acquisition of c...
Biostimulants nanoencapsulation to increase yield under drought stress
A biostimulant (BS) is understood as any compound, microorganism or mixture of them, with the exception of fertilizers and pesticides1.BSs are commonly ecofriendly substances and i...
Reversibly cross-linkable lignin-based membranes for carbon dioxide capture
LigMem action will purposely enhance the Fellow’s expertise in the field of biopolymer synthesis through an experimental research project to develop “Reversibly cross-linkable Lign...
Endocytic logistics of defense signaling in plants
Cells sense extracellular signals via their surface localized transmembrane receptor kinases.Although long regarded as a conduit for cell surface receptor degradation or recycling,...
The MICRO-BIO process: a comprehensive platform to capture CO2 from indoor air, transform it into valuable carbon-neutral commodity chemicals
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important public health concern since most people spend 80-90 % of their time indoors. The coronavirus pandemic has increased the public awareness of...
