Agriloop
The AgriLoop consortium aims to extend the agricultural production value of two major players of the global bioeconomy: the European Union and China, by eco-efficiently upgrading under-exploited residues into a portfolio of high added-value bio-products able to generate new bio-based markets or to compete with, and gain market share of, oil- and…
Decentralised production of green fuel from surplus algae oil
The cultivation of (micro-)algae and the extraction of ingredients from them has become increasingly important in recent years. This project`s scope was to develop a dedicated downstream process as a
compact, decentralized, and reliable systems – including inline measurement for a later cloud-driven operation.
Cancer-specific Alternative Splicing Events
Novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for different cancer types CanIso.netA new database to assess the impact of cancer-specific Most Dominant Transcripts (cMDT) using an isoform-specific interaction network. Alternative RNA splicing is a regulatory cellular mechanism to create multiple mRNA molecules from the same gene…
Biosynthesis Rescue
Synthetic glycolipids for the treatment of rare diseases GPI-Anchored Proteins Biosynthesis Rescue We established a synthetic strategy for the chemical synthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositols having unsaturated lipids. This strategy was used in a project with the group of Prof. Taroh Kinoshita from Osaka University and the Max Planck…
Novel in vitro biomarkers for hepatotoxicity: exosomal miR-122
In vitro models for liver disease suffer from the lack of well-established and sensitive biomarkers of cellular damage. MicroRNAs (miRNAs; small noncoding RNAs) represent potential biomarkers for the detection of drug-induced liver injury in vivo and in vitro. Altered physiological state caused by disease or tissue damage results in altered release of exosomal- or protein-bound miRNAs, detectable in body fluids and cell culture media...
Prolific
Integrated cascades of processes for the extraction and valorisation of proteins and bioactive molecules from legumes, fungi and coffee agro-industrial side streams. Under this title, PROLIFIC applies new, innovative, technological and industrial solutions to transform agro-industrial residues into higher value products....
