Immunotherapy has revolutionised cancer treatment, providing survival benefits in patients with hard-to-treat tumours. Tragically, these benefits are unevenly distributed. Clinical efficacy varies dramatically between (and within) cancer types, and severe side-effects persist...

Stable integration of exogenous transgenes in the genome of transfected eukaryotic host cells is essential in many biological, biotechnological and biomedical applications. Naked DNA vectors are increasingly applied for this purpose as an alternative to viral particles due to...

Globally, 15 million people suffer a stroke every year, causing 6 million deaths and leaving another 5 million permanently disabled, which makes stroke the second leading cause of disability. In the Europe, it is the most common cause of morbidity and long-term disability...

Transport coefficients govern the irreversible flow of extensive, conserved quantities, like mass, momentum, charge and energy. They are fundamental in both science and technology, governing from battery- and fuel-cell-efficiency to the lifecycle of planets. During the last...

One of the most profound problems in modern theoretical physics concerns the formulation of quantum gravity. A predominating paradigm for addressing questions in quantum gravity is string theory. One important lesson from string theory is that different string theories must be...

The EUICIT action addresses the rights claims and agendas of intersex people and those with Disorders of Sexual Development (DSD), in response to recent Council of Europe recommendations to revise medical and policy approaches. The term 'Intersex' refers to people born with...

The OYSTER project will lead to the development and demonstration of a marinized electrolyser designed for integration with offshore wind turbines. One of the world’s leading PEM electrolyser manufacturers, ITM Power, will work with the world’s largest offshore wind...

To develop Europe’s computer architecture of the future, MAELSTROM will co-design bespoke compute system designs for optimal application performance and energy efficiency, a software framework to optimise usability and training efficiency for machine learning at scale, and...
