BIOMECALIX: A novel mechanically enhanced bioleaching process
A novel multi-stage acting antimalarial drug-candidate – plasmodrug
Malaria is still a major public health problem in 2018, since this infection due to the Plasmodium parasite, present in 91 countries, kills more than 440,000 people every year, with a majority of Afri
A small ring into the bigger picture – Benz
This research program centers on the development of new methodologies in organic chemistry and their applications towards the synthesis of complex molecular scaffolds. Our approach relies on synthetic
A strategy for the popularization of Si and C based nanochemistry – Si-POP
Development of strategies for the popularization of Si and C based nanochemistry
A synthetic biology approach for the microbial conversion of cellulosic feedstocks into bulk chemicals – SYNBIOCHEM
The overall aim of this project is use a synthetic biology approach to develop a consolidated bioprocess (CBP) that will be built around a novel bacterial strain, possessing both high cellulolytic pot
ABA-dependent control of plant hydraulics in plant acclimation to water deficit – ABAqua
Plants under drought maintain their water status by coordinating water uptake by roots and transpiration through stomata. A stress hormone, abscisic acid (ABA), plays a central role in these responses. This project aims at exploring the ABA signaling pathways and their effects on the hydraulic properties of the plant, to elucidate how water homeostasis is achieved through communication between root and leaves.
ADAPTING MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLE CROPS TO CLIMATE CHANGE-INDUCED MULTIPLE STRESS – VEG-ADAPT
Climate change is inducing severe limitations to vegetable crops in the Mediterranean, due to severe, often concurrent (multiple) stresses, in particular drought, heat, and salinity. VEG-ADAPT gathe
AHR activation and mechanisms of cell alteration in myasthenia gravis model – ATM
Numerous groups have demonstrated that environmental factors (endocrine disruptors) through their nuclear receptor, the Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), activate transduction pathways that regulate th
