Unprecedented photolithographic structuring of novel light-sensitive poly(amino acid) materials- a paradigm shift in delivering biocompatible devices (POLINA)

European ComissionPartner
Photolitography, which produces geometrical structures through light-induced polymerisation of monomers with high accuracy, precision and spatial resolution, was a key innovation enabler in the drive for high-performance miniature electronics, which had an unprecedented impact on every aspect of our modern life. Geometrically well-defined micros...

Unraveling the role of the Neurodegenerative Causative protein TDP-43 in Oncogenesis to identify Vulnerabilities for improved bREast cancer tReatment (UNCOVER)

Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaPartner
The genetic and metabolic links between neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) and cancer involve shared genes and pathways that are dysregulated in opposite directions—such as the ubiquitin-proteasome system, oxidative stress, and DNA damage—suggesting that mechanisms underlying NDs may confer protection against cancer offering new therapeutic avenue...

Upgrading wastewater treatment via synergistic adsorption-degradation of organic microcontaminants by enzyme-modified carbon materials (SYNERGY)

Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaPartner
Scientific and technological developments of the last century undeniably contributed to achieve current lifestyle standards. Yet, such progress also resulted in an undesirable heritage of anthropogenic contaminants that are seriously affecting water quality. That is the case of organic microcontaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, which end up in ...
