user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fifth Framework proposal for the project 'Detection of Activity Performances for Health with New Equipment'.

assistant: **Objectives**

One of the most growing progressive neuromotory diseases is Parkinson disease that affects young and elderly people; the researches carried out in the framework of neuromotory pathologies have generated mehodologies for multiparametric analysis, allowing a quantitative measurement of neurological and psycho-physical health state. Albeit the first application of the mentioned studies was the monitoring of Parkinson progress state as well as other neuromotory pathologies, such methodologies can also be applied to monitor the soundness of healthy citizens. These measures are an excellent method to show reactive parameters changes caused by stress, fatigue, emotional states, drugs and alcohol; therefore, the aim of the present project is to develop a system able to quantify reactive parameters creating a system that can be put in a small equipment with data wireless transmission to operational health centres.Objectives:The main objective of the present project is to promote the self care trough the development of a portable and computerized instrument that measures some fundamental parameters of citizen's reactive capabilities.The aim is to give the possibility of performing continuous and autonomous monitoring of the health state at home assuring, thanks to a telecommunication system, a constant remote control. Therefore on one hand, the patient affected by a neuromotory pathology (like Parkinson disease) can be daily assisted by clinicians who can intervene if the parameters are out of range or change the therapy; on the other hand, the healthy citizen can prevent any possible illness by constantly screen his/her health state acquiring awareness on how the life style can influence the psychophysical soundness.Work description:The system is based on neurological studies al

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Characterization of the factors involved in the early step of spliceosome assembly' (1994-1998).

assistant: **Concept**

Research objectives and content The aim of the project is the characterization of the factors involved in intron recognition and assembly of the spliceosome, a basic process of pre-mRNA processing. We want to understand the mechanisms by which the cell recognizes an intron and decides to cut it out. We want to assess the role of the different factors present in U1 snRNP, the first particle that binds the pre-mRNA. We will study the recently described U1 snRNP proteins by using biochemistry and molecular biology methods. We will use yeast as a model. The availability of its genome and the fact that it is widely used in research makes it suitable for our purposes. This project has been started funded with an EC institutional fellowship that covers only one year. From our preliminary results we have found a protein that is part of the U1 snRNP and seems to have an important function in pre-mRNA recognition. We have also started to study other 4 proteins present in U1 snRNP in order to address their role in this particle. I have already purified the U1 snRNP and we want to carry out biochemical reconstitution of this particle to get commitment complexes. This knowledge will allow us to understand how the splicing machinery is able to distinguish between fully spliced RNAs and intron-containing pre-mRNAs, a basic process in pre-mRNA maturation. Training content (objective, benefit and expected impact) During my Ph. D. Thesis I have acquired training in molecular biology techniques. This project will be a perfect complement in my formation since I will use molecular biology, biochemistry and yeast genetics methodology to address the questions mentioned above. The EMBL provides a good environment for research. It has any facility required to perform the research project. This

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'Extended short-wave infrared pulsed fibre laser' (SWIP) under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Objectives**

The 2+ um short-wave infrared spectral band has been gaining constant momentum in the recent years, driven by a plethora of potential applications whose performances could be improved either in terms of sensitivity, security, reach or efficiencies. Opening this wavelength range for widespread usage necessarily requires developing new technologies such as fibre lasers, which have already found wide use at 1.0 and 1.5 um. We propose in this ERC Proof of Concept project SWIP to move our nanosecond pulsed 2+ um fibre laser technology closer to commercialization. Advanced prototypes will be tailored to satisfy user needs such as portability, affordability and versatility while delivering the required performances to fully exploit the 2+ um spectral band. The project will push the operation of extremely simple, compact 2 um fibre lasers with customized pulsing and towards wavelengths yet un-exploited by utilizing novel co-doped fibres. More specifically, the objectives of this PoC are therefore to A) optimize and tailor our prototype to user needs, B) assess our competitive advantages in key and emerging markets, C) investigate various commercialization avenues and business models as to establish a sound exploitation strategy.

user: Explain the overall concept, methodology and approach for the project 'Uncovering the molecular dialogue between the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and the non-host plant.' (AraMyco).

assistant: **Concept**

The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is one of the most ancient, abundant, and ecologically important mutualisms on Earth. Yet, despite its crucial role in land ecosystems, molecular mechanisms leading to its formation are just beginning to be unraveled. However, approximately 18% of all land plants, including important crop species, do not form a symbiosis with AM fungi (AMF) and can even be antagonized by them. These non-mycorrhizal plants include several major crops as well as many important weeds. Until now, molecular interactions between AMF and non-host plants have been poorly understood, possibly due to the absence of a suitable model system. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the non-host model plant Arabidopsis thaliana becomes heavily infected by AMF when exposed to mycorrhizal networks that are established by neighboring host plants, resulting in a strong reduction of growth of the non-host plant. However, arbuscules, the most characteristic structure in the AM symbiosis, have not been found in this interaction. These results point to a different interaction between A. thaliana and AMF compared to a functional symbiosis AMF host plant. Here we propose to utilize the well-established Arabidopsis model system to investigate the molecular mechanisms that explain the biological basis of AM fungal incompatibility through a multidisciplinary approach. We will test whether growth suppression previously observed in AMF-infected Arabidopsis is caused by nutrient limitation or by a costly activation of plant defenses. In addition we aim to identify gene regulatory networks that are activated in the three (fully sequenced) partners of the mycorrhizal network Medicago truncatula-Rhizophagus irregularis-Arabidopsis. This will allow us to study in detail key AM f

user: Write the concept and methodology overview for 'Membrane Micro-Compartments' under Horizon Europe.

assistant: **Concept**

More than two-thirds of all described drug targets are membrane proteins, but only for a small fraction of these hydrophobic proteins the structure is currently known. Membrane proteins are inherently challenging to produce and analyze. Consequently, in pre-clinical investigations their mechanism and drug interactions are often only derived from purified truncated parts of these proteins, taken out of their native biological context. Lacking the effects of surrounding membrane components, conclusions on drug mechanisms are indecisive. Recent advances in in situ structure determination techniques, i.e. analysis directly within the cellular environment, now have the power to overcome the limitations of classical reconstituted approaches. Complementary, we have developed a system that may facilitate structural analysis of membrane protein drug targets and has large potential for the production of native membrane proteins - an essential prerequisite for the study of membrane protein function and drug interactions.Within the scope of our proposal, we will further develop our system and transfer it into pharmaceutically relevant cell systems. Furthermore, we aim to achieve proof-of-concept and assess our system with clinically relevant membrane proteins for their suitability to solve 3D structures in complex with clinical drugs, as well as its suitability for the membrane protein production. We are convinced that our approach will have a transformative impact on how drug - membrane protein interactions can be studied, and could be exploited for drug development in the pharmaceutical industry. In the course of the project, we will establish a plan for transforming our system into a business model and commercializing our technology.

user: Write clear, measurable objectives and define the scope for the project 'A structural mechanism of photoreceptor protein signalling by time-resolved anisotropic X-ray solution scattering' (ANISOPROTEINXRAY) under Seventh Framework.

assistant: **Objectives**

Photoreceptor proteins are light sensing biomolecules used by bacteria, funghi and plants to react to light stimuli. To date, a range of light-signalling proteins and their function are known. However, the mechanisms of signal propagation from the light sensitive chromophore to the signalling cascade in the cell are still elusive.Protein crystallography is an established method to gain structural information on static protein conformations. Only recently, time-resolved X-ray scattering methods for proteins in aqueous solution have been developed to study conformational changes that proteins undergo while functioning.  Though, time-resolved X-ray solution scattering acts on proteins in their natural environment, the method lacks information content. To date, the method cannot be fully exploited because the scattering signal is averaged over all orientations that proteins adopt in solution.I propose to establish a new and promising anisotropic X-ray scattering technique which should double the information content compared to the standard method. I plan to achieve this by arresting the protein rotation in hydrogels and by excitation with polarized light. Furthermore, I will develop indispensable analysis tools to derive structural changes from the anisotropic X-ray scattering.With this new technique, I propose to elucidate the signal transduction sequence in the BLUF-domain containing photoreceptor proteins BlrP1 and AppA, covering all intermediates in the ns to ms time-scale. If successful, this project will uncover the sequence and nature of structural events that lead to signal transduction from the chromophores to the output domains of these proteins.Photoreceptors are not only interesting as easily excitable targets for the development of time-resolved methods, they a

user: Compose the 'State of the Art and Innovation' section for a Fifth Framework proposal on 'Social convoy and sustainable employability: innovative strategies of outplacement / replacement counselling'.

assistant: **Innovation**

The project aims at the analysis of existing company-based approaches of taking aver social responsibility for dismissed employees in the context of industrial restructuring. Concepts on the development of sustainable employability on the company level, and on a social convoy" in occupational transitions are assumed to be conducive to individuals with regard to quality of life resulting in positive repercussions for the organisation. Empirical research on the expectations from side of employees, the process and effects of outplacement/replacement (op/rp) counselling, its individual and institutional effects will be conducted from different orientations and methodologies, namely psychological, sociological, ergonomically, and philosophical. The result will lead to the formulation of a model for organisational and personal responsibility for occupational transitions based upon integrated OP/RP strategies as part of a EU Employment Policy."

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'International Clinical Validation of Radiomics Artificial Intelligence for Breast Cancer Treatment Planning' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer worldwide, surpassing lung cancer in 2020 for the first time. It is responsible for almost 30% of all cancers in women and current trends show its increasing incidence. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has shown promise in reducing mortality for advanced cases, but the therapy is associated with a high rate of over-treatment, as well as with significant side effects for the patients. For predicting NAC respondents and improving patient selection, artificial intelligence (AI) approaches based on radiomics have shown promising preclinical evidence, but existing studies have mostly focused on evaluating model accuracy, all-too-often in homogeneous populations.RadioVal is the first multi-centre, multi-continental and multi-faceted clinical validation of radiomics-driven estimation of NAC response in breast cancer. The project builds on the repositories, tools and results of five EU-funded projects from the AI for Health Imaging (AI4HI) Network, including a large multi-centre cancer imaging dataset on NAC treatment in breast cancer. To test applicability as well as transferability, the validation with take place in eight clinical centres from three high-income EU countries (Sweden, Austria, Spain), two emerging EU countries (Poland, Croatia), and three countries from South America (Argentina), North Africa (Egypt) and Eurasia (Turkey). RadioVal will develop a comprehensive and standardised methodological framework for multi-faceted radiomics evaluation based on the FUTURE-AI Guidelines, to assess Fairness, Universality, Traceability, Usability, Robustness and Explainability. Furthermore, the project will introduce new tools to enable transparent and continuous evaluation and monitoring of the radiomics tools over time. The RadioVal s

user: Draft an impact statement for 'Linking Functional impact and Microstructural properties of fiber tract demyelination and remyelination in a rodent model of multiple sclerosis', explaining its relevance to EU policy priorities under Horizon 2020.

assistant: **Impact**

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a diffuse inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. Neuroinflammation destroys the myelin sheaths wrapped around the axons and may lead to axon degeneration. Repair processes trigger re-myelinisation. Myelin loss delays or blocks signal propagation along axons in white matter tracts, impairing neuronal integration within the affected brain network. The exact relationship between the amount of axonal de- and re-myelination and the resulting network dysfunction is still poorly understood. Using a rat MS model,  I will bridge the scales from the cellular to the network level,  to disentangle how myelin loss and axonal degeneration leads to network dysfunction. My approach integrates three lines of research: (i) I will prospectively perform diffusion MRI and quantitative MRI to assess the temporal dynamics of microstructural changes in axon diameter and myelin content in the lesioned white matter tract. Leveraging state-of-art expertise at DRCMR, I will optimize MR sequences and biophysical models to create an optimized axon diameter and myelin mapping framework. (ii) In parallel, I will perform resting-state and task-based functional MRI to trace the resulting changes in functional connectivity at the network level. (iii) Building on my expertise, I will combine functional MRI with optogenetics and simultaneous intracellular calcium (and trans-membrane voltage) recording to characterize in detail the functional impact of axonal damage in the lesioned white matter tract on well-defined cell circuits in the inter-connected cortical areas. This unique multimodal approach  will yield novel MRI-based biomarkers that are sensitive and specific to primary demyelination and axonal degeneration on the one hand and reparator

user: Draft the 'Objectives and Scope' section of a Fourth Framework proposal for the project 'Synthesis, complexation behaviour and nmr-investigations of phosphino compounds'.

assistant: **Objectives**

The aim of this project is the synthesis of new polyphosphines and polyphosphine oxides and the investigation or their complexation abilities towards a range of heavy metals. In particular, the applicability of such phosphorus ligands to extract heavy metals from waste waters will be investigated. Initial emphasis will be given to those metals which can be monitored by nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy, e g 119Sn, 183W, 199Hg and 207Pb. On the basis of all n.m.r. data (1H, 13C, 31P, the metal nuclei chemical shifts, coupling constants) it is possible to discuss the confirmational arrangement of the newly formed phosphorus complexes in solution. Solid state (n.m.r. and X-ray) data may be used to compare the structure of the compounds in the two different states. This may lead to a better understanding of the reactivity of phosphorus compounds towards metals and may facilitate the choice of the 'right' phosphorus partner for extraction of heavy metals from common environmental matrices.

user: Describe the specific objectives and expected outcomes for 'Machine learning methods for the reconstruction of dual tracer PET images' in the context of a Horizon Europe call.

assistant: **Objectives**

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that displays in vivo brain-wide metabolic processes. Prior to PET image acquisition, a tracer, labelled with a positron emitting isotope, is injected to the patient. This so-called radiotracer distributes over the body and accumulates in e.g. inflammatory tissue. To date, the acquisiton of a PET image is limited to one tracer, thereby only displaying one metabolic process in the brain. However, the acquisition of two separate PET images acquired with different tracer simultaneously would give novel and unique insights in the communication between e.g. neurotransmitter systems. These insights could be used for the development of new drugs for e.g Alzheimer  patients and would increase the understanding of the healthy and diseased brain.The acquisition of 'dual tracer' PET images can be achieved by combining two radiotracers with different properties: The first 'standard' radiotracer emits two photons that are recorded by the PET system, while the second 'non-standard' tracer emits two photons and an additional gamma ray. By identifying the additional gamma ray, the photon detections of the two tracers can be separated and two PET images can be reconstructed. 'Dual tracer' PET image reconstruction yields challenges due to undesirable effect of photon detection. In this project, a machine learning algorithm will be trained to detect and correct for these effects. Moreover, the image acquired with the 'non-standard' tracer yields low image quality. A Convolutional Neural Network will be trained to denoise this PET image. In the proposed project, a reconstruction algorithm for dual tracer PET based on machine learning techniques and resulting in two separate PET images with high image quality will be develope
