By building the market’s first commercial lab-scale soft X-ray microscope, the EU-funded SMILE project has helped increase researcher productivity.
Soft X-ray imaging, also known as X-ray microscopy, is a type of imaging that uses electromagnetic radiation in the low energy X-ray band to produce magnified images of an object. Currently, it is the only method researchers have to generate high-resolution, high-contrast 3D images of the whole internal structure of intact biological cells in their near-natural state.

The EU-funded Renaparin project is supporting the clinical trial needed to move a new drug for preventing delayed graft function towards commercialisation.
Donor kidneys lack a natural blood flow when waiting to be transplanted into the recipient. Known clinically as delayed graft function (DGF), the resulting kidney injuries and potentially impaired function of the organ can cause the receiving patient to go into dialysis within the first week of the transplant – among other issues.

Scientists have characterised critical components masking primordial radiation generated during the Big Bang. Outcomes will help to reveal the processes in those first instants that occurred with energy a trillion times more than that possible with the most sophisticated particle accelerators available.

All healthy somatic cells in the human body divide on a regular basis, producing two identical daughter cells. When some cells enter an arrested state following cancer therapy, their presence may indicate a likely recurrence and EU-funded scientists are on their trail.

The Cologne Graduate School of Ageing Research (CGA) in Germany is a joint venture of the University of Cologne Excellence Cluster on Stress Responses in AgingAssociated Diseases (CECAD), the University Hospital Cologne, the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing and the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research. Cologne has emerged as a leading global research cluster with a stellar constellation of institutes and scientists dedicated to ageing research in Life Sciences. We offer up to
12 fully funded Ph.D. positions
Καταληκτική Ημερομηνία: Κυριακή, Νοέμβριος 17, 2019The European Southern Observatory (ESO) invites applications for the ESO Fellowship Scheme 2019/2020. The scheme is designed to help young scientists to develop their independent research programmes and successfully reach the next step of their scientific career by:
Applications are invited for the Woodrow Wilson Center International Fellowship Program 2020/2021. The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars aims to unite the world of ideas to the world of policy by supporting pre-eminent and linking that scholarship to issues of concern to officials in Washington.

The PACCASA project has developed an effective programme to prevent violence against children that is now implemented in 15 countries globally. The project has also expanded beyond its original aims of a single programme and has partnered in a suite of child abuse prevention programmes for different age groups, now scaled up in 21 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Caribbean.

Social media have provided many social, religious and political movements an effective means for networking and communicating with diverse stakeholders. EU researchers examined Islamic State’s (IS) own use of online platforms to reinforce its ideologies.

EU-funded scientists are using cutting-edge biotechnologies, genomic analyses and mathematic modelling methods to improve livestock immunisation to help reduce soaring veterinary use of antibiotics.
The use of antibiotics in livestock production is as problematic as in human disease and resistance is building up very swiftly. “We do not have the throughput of antibiotics to tackle this,” says project coordinator Dr Isabelle Schwartz from the molecular virology and immunology department at the National Institute for Agricultural Research in France.
