Understand and optimize mental strategies in motor training – MentAct
Motor imagery is the mental simulation of action. Although it can assist in decision-making and skill improvement for novice and experts, the inter-individual variability of such improvement lowers th
Multi-Host Evolution of Avian Malaria in the Wild – EVOMALWILD
In recent years, the emergence or re-emergence of animal and human infectious diseases has been increasingly documented around the world. Ecosystem alterations, and movements of infected people and an
Unraveling complex nucleation pathways in natural and engineered cements – NUANCE
Carbonate biominerals and engineered cements such as Portland cement are formed via the initial precipitation of disordered solids, herein called precursors. These precursors are highly hydrated and plastic, allowing the molding of intricate shapes once the cement hardens. This project addressed the factors controlling the crystallization of these precursors for both natural and engineered cements.
Extracting water minerals and energy from seawater desalination brine – EXTRASEA
With more than 18,000 plants worldwide, seawater desalination is the most reliable and sustainable way to produce drinking water in Mediterranean countries under water stress. EXTRASEA’s challenge i
Symbolic Methods for Biological Networks – SYMBIONT
SYMBIONT is an interdisciplinary project ranging from mathematics via computer science to systems biology and systems medicine. The project has a clear focus on fundamental research on mathematical me
Peptide supramolecular assembly as a determinant for biological function – Biosupramol
Histidine-rich peptides that were designed and investigated in our laboratories exhibit a large variety of biological functions that can be tuned by subtle sequence variations, pH, salt and other envi
Patterns and processes of horizontal DNA transfer: an in-depth exploration of the host-parasitoid route – Horizon
It is now recognised that DNA can move across species barriers, not only in bacteria and archaea, where this has been long-recognised, but also among eukaryotes, including metazoans. In the latter how
