Awarded Projects

High-intensity particle physics experiments, such as those at MAMI in Mainz and at Jefferson Lab and Fermi Lab, are providing precision nucleon structure results in the search for new physics.

A molecular level understanding of skin permeation may rationalize and streamline product development and improve quality and control, of transdermal and topical drug delivery systems.

Optogenetics uses light to control the activity of specific cells, and it has revolutionised neuroscience research. Genetically modified cells express light-sensitive proteins called opsins, which are activated when exposed to light of a specific wavelength.

This is project meant to support the Smart-TURB ERC AdG (2021-2026) on Machine Learning applications to Eulerian and Lagrangian Turbulence.

The project proposes a high-statistics computation of lattice correlation functions starting from isospin-symmetric QCD and including the leading isospin-breaking effects.

Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets lose most of their mass by a few corridors of rapidly flowing ice.

The human ether-a-go-go (hERG) gene encodes the voltage-activated, potassium-selective channel that regulates the repolarisation phase in the cardiac action potential.

When you break an atom, you see electrons, protons and neutrons as free particles but when you break a proton its quarks and gluons rearrange into new hadrons. Quarks and gluons are permanently confined in hadrons.

Electrochemical energy storage and conversion is one of the main challenges for energy transition. Electrocatalysis can play an important role by allowing to produce key chemical reagents using electricity production from renewable sources.
