• ChloroMosaic — Environmentally-informed functional characterisation of the secondary red chloroplast proteome

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Participant

  Photosynthesis in the ocean is as significant as that of land plants, and is performed by a wide range of cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae, the most abundant of which have originated through the secondary endosymbioses of red algae. Previously, I have shown that these "secondary red chloroplasts" are evolutionary mosaics, supported by nucleus-encoded proteins of…

• MAGNIFY — Decoding the Mechanisms Underlying Metal-Organic Frameworks Self-Assembly

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials with many societally relevant potential applications, such as carbon capture, removal of environmental toxins and drug-delivery. Despite the progress in the field, synthesizing a MOF currently requires tens to hundreds costly and time-consuming trial-and-error synthesis experiments because our ability to correlate the synthesis conditions with the desired MOF structure…

• ModERN — Modelling Enlightenment: Reassembling Networks of Modernity through data-driven research

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Participant

  The Enlightenment has long been associated with the rise of modern Europe, and more generally with the concept of a typically European Modernity that took root in its wake. What it means to be ‘modern’ is indelibly bound up with our understanding of the Enlightenment’s core concepts: reason, religious toleration, civic virtue, political liberty, and…

• ENERGISED — Impact Of The Gut Microbiota On Host Cells Energy Metabolism: Role In Health And In Inflammatory bowel disease

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Établissement bénéficiaire (ERC)

  Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, are immune-related disorders characterized by inappropriate gut inflammation. Their incidence has increased dramatically in Western countries in recent decades, supporting a role for environmental factors. Despite the development of new treatments, IBD are insufficiently controlled in a large proportion of patients, inducing an alteration in…

• MESHOPTO — Retinal Mesh Optoelectronics

  Horizon Europe · Appel 2021 · Participant

  Visual sense is vital for all of us. Blindness has severe negative psychological, social, and economical consequences, and degeneration of photoreceptors is a leading cause of it. Photovoltaic retina implants are the current electronic solution to restore vision loss due to photoreceptor degeneration. Since the state-of-the-art implants are based on photodiodes, which face challenges in…
