MicroREvolution - a high-throughput drop-based microfluidic platform for rapid screening of highly diverse antimicrobial peptide mutant libraries generated via directed evolution.
The extensive overuse of antibiotics in both the medicine and food industry resulted in the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria strains, putting at risk lives of millions of...
Adjoint-based OPTimization of deflection-based cerebral embolic protection devices for reducing stroke risk in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has quickly become the clinical standard for patients with medium to high risk for surgery.Despite being a promising treatment for ao...
Nu Flavour: Novel Effective Field Theory and Simplified Model Approaches to Beyond-the-Standard Model Flavour Physics and Neutrino Phenomenology
I propose utilizing model-independent formalisms, e.g. effective field theories (EFT) and simplified models, to study Beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) flavour physics and associated...
A nematode host-range paradox: how can one of the apparently most specialised obligate biotrophic plant-parasites also have the largest host rangeNemHostRangeParadoxA nematode h
The root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) is an obligate biotrophic pathogen with a remarkable ability to deliver “effector” molecules into its host plant, allowing it to repr...
Modelling the dynamics of Violent Gang-Crime: a Network approach
GANGNET is a project motivated by two intertwined emergencies of contemporary EU urban landscape: (1) the emergence of stable co-offending groups (2) the rapid propagation of inter...
Revolving around the ubiquitin‒proteasome system: USP2-targeted degrader
Targeting DUB enzymes has recently emerged as a promising opportunity for drug discovery that might lead to more selective, less toxic drug profiles.Target validation of these enzy...
HeaVen - Venezuelan migration, human rights and intersectoral strategies: Towards a new right to primary health care for irregular migrants in Colombia
HEAVEN’s key objective is to conceptualize the right to primary health care (PHC) for irregular migrants—a right that is relevant to law and policy at different levels of governanc...
Single molecule characterisation of biological nanopores in action
Biological nanopores are nanometre-scale holes in membranes created by transmembrane proteins. In nature, nanopores come from pore-forming toxins or exist as transporters in bacter...
Fabricating Twitter: Social media narratives, political dissidence, and false information in Iran
This project, 1) explores the networks, processes and mechanisms of production and usage of false information (e.g., fake news, misinformation) on Iranian Twittersphere (Persian Tw...
Trajectories in the Byzantine fabric of time: philosophical and narratological approaches to temporal (dis)order in middle Byzantium
ByzTime proposes to investigate the Byzantine concept of time from the vantage point of three distinct yet interrelated literary genres: philosophical treatises, apocalyptic prophe...
Disease defence in groups: the role of relatedness, risk and pathogen type
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the drawbacks of living socially; increased contact and high host density encourage the spread of disease in social groups, compared to t...
Unraveling effects of anisotropy from low collisionality in the intracluster medium
Despite advances in both instrumental and computational capabilities, there still exists a mismatch between the observations of and theory describing galaxy clusters – the most mas...
Responsible Neuro-Technologies of Pain: Understanding Vulnerability in Pain Care with Minimally and Non-Invasive Neuro-Technologies for Pain Modulation in the United States (REGAIN)
Chronic pain is a global health challenge of enormous proportions.Estimates claim that over 1.5 billion people live with chronic pain worldwide, which results in $245 billion USD i...
Preparing for invasion: novel techniques for early detection of emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) and discovering resistance traits in host plants.
Ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) in Europe are threatened by two alien invasive organisms; a deadly fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus that has been causing a slow, steady decline in...
Unravelling the role of the immune receptor CD300f in spinal cord injury and metabolic reprogramming
Inflammation after spinal cord injury (SCI) exerts a key effect on the progress of both degeneration and regeneration after a traumatic injury.In addition, it has become increasing...
The place-making function of ritual movement in Roman religion
Ritual movement, that is movement of individuals or groups on a more or less fixed route for religious causes or purposes (e.g. processions), always played a major role in the reli...
Statistical Mechanics and transport phenomena in Active Colloidal Solids
The objective of StaMACS is to uncover the dynamics of an active and loosely packed magnetic colloidal crystal. This system will consist of repulsive paramagnetic particles immerse...
Research and Engagement for the European Reform University Alliance
Re:ERUA is an ambitious project developing the trajectory of the European Reform University Alliance (ERUA).In this project, we will set up an Engagement Strategy for the fields of...
Decoupling radiative and non-radiative losses in lead free perovskite solar cells
Lead (Pb) based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) demonstrate a remarkable power conversion efficiency (PCE of 25.2%). Their toxicity, however, raises environmental concerns and might...
EdTech and the birth of platform education: An ethnographic account of a start-up in the age of global education
