Projet LIGHTHER (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2024)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Chemistry
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Project LIGHTHER (LIGHt-boosted THERapy) focuses on basic studies and early preclinical development of a groundbreaking therapy for one of the deadliest human diseases - lung cancer. The therapy includes in-patient activation of the immune system by light-controllable cytotoxic peptides, ex vivo loading of the patient’s dendritic cells (DCs) with exosomes or cancer cell lysates obtained using the same peptides, and treatment of the patients with the loaded DCs. Optimisation of efficacy and safety planned as the main outcome of the Project will pave the way for future preclinical and clinical studies of a radically novel, photosensitive drug. The main impact of the LIGHTHER Project in the long run will be creating a market segment for photopharmacology-based therapies. The participating institutions are complementary in their expertise, which will be transferred between them through secondments, research, and training. Lumobiotics, a small and medium enterprise (SME) with experience in drug development, will coordinate the work; Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv will focus on the preparation and analysis of the peptides; National Cancer Institute of Ukraine will contribute its expertise in DC-based immunotherapy; SME Bienta and Amsterdam University Medical Center will do the in vitro and in vivo preclinical research. Six work packages are planned: 1) investigation of the immunogenic potential of light-controllable peptides; 2) evaluation of safety of the treatment by light-controllable peptides; 3) study of the DC activation by cancer cells treated by light-controllable peptides; 4) in vivo testing of the combination therapy on a lung cancer rodent model; 5) synthesis, laboratory scale peptide production, and analytics; 6) communication, dissemination, and management. The participating institutions will collaborate toward advancing the therapy to clinical applications, during the Project and after its completion.

Projet STOP-MATING (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2023)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Life Sciences
Statut du projet : SIGNED

STOP-MATING aims at building a research and innovation network to advance towards developing novel tools to target the mating behaviour of disease-transmitting mosquitoes for vector control. Challenges related to climate change and insecticide resistance are putting human populations at risk of mosquito-borne diseases. Novel strategies are required to tackle this public health challenge. In STOP-MATING we propose to use the mating systems of disease-transmitting mosquitoes as novel vector control targets. Although disrupting mosquito mating would have a clear impact on mosquito vector numbers, this mechanism is underexploited from a public health perspective. In STOP-MATING we bring together experts from academic and industrial partners with interdisciplinary expertise on bioinformatics, molecular neuroscience, genetic control, behaviour, biophysics, vector ecology and vector control to explore novel vector control approaches. Our objectives are to 1) identify molecular targets for mosquito mating disruption, 2) mutate those targets, 3) analyse associated behavioural effects and 4) explore their potential application into developing mating disruptors and gene drive systems for vector control. We also aim at exploiting the mating behaviour of mosquitoes to develop traps that mimic the environmental stimuli that they respond to during courtship behaviour. STOP-MATING approach is to merge knowledge from laboratory and field researchers to deliver real-world solutions, and to tackle different mosquito species of increasing public health relevance in Europe. Our innovative approaches have the potential to make great impact to reduce the health burden of mosquito-borne diseases.

Projet WE4STEM (Horizon Europe, appel à projets 2022)
Action : Staff Exchanges
Panel : Social Sciences and Humanities
Statut du projet : CLOSED

The objective of the project is to develop new and lasting international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaborations in the research field of entrepreneurial education. The scientific goal is to create an evidence-based outreach intervention that (1) identifies potential candidates for entrepreneurship from among European female graduates and postgraduates in STEM fields, (2) strengthens their entrepreneurial intention and (3) points them to digital entrepreneurial education based on their personal profile. Entrepreneurship drives economic growth, job creation and innovation. In the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan, the European Commission outlines the importance of strengthening Europe’s entrepreneurial potential. However, despite a range of actions entrepreneurial intentions are low in more developed economies. This is especially true for women in STEM fields, and it is particularly true for female students. Although the underrepresentation of women entrepreneurs is determined by socio-cultural and economic factors, studies show that entrepreneurship education can have a positive influence on the development of entrepreneurial intention. However, little research has been conducted to design evidence-based interventions. It is the aim of the proposal to create an evidence-based intervention that identifies candidates for entrepreneurship from among European female graduates and postgraduates within STEM, strengthens their entrepreneurial intention and points them to digital entrepreneurial education. Using data analysis, machine learning tools and Educational Technology we contribute to improving the profile matching that connects female graduates and postgraduates within STEM to entrepreneurship and uses algorithms to match between learner profile and intervention. We believe the intervention can significantly contribute to improving European economic competitiveness, strengthening human capital, and promoting gender equality within STEM entrepreneurship.
