Research Projects at ECLT:


 PACE: EU, IST-FET Integrated Project “Programmable Artificial Cell Evolution” (www.istpace.org). This completed project aimed at exploring the utilization of the simplest technically feasible elementary living units (artificial cells much simpler than current cells) to build evolvable complex information systems.

DICE: Fondazione Venezia project, dedicated to "Designing Informative Combinatorial Experiments" for living technology. The project aims at designing evolutionary combinatorial experiments in the high dimensional and high throughput setting that characterizes the search of new biological entities, such as new artificial proteins.
PROTUMA: The EU ProTuMa project "Novel Protein Markers for Tumor diagnosis, prognosis and therapy"  aims at characterizing and validating novel tumor markers for the diagnosis and treatment of aggressive tumours. Within the project, ECLT will attempt to unveil the complex network of interaction that involves candidate biomarkers applying cutting-edge technologies from the system biology fields such as high-content screening, evolutionary mathematical and statistical modeling of cellular pathways and advanced data mining techniques

ECCELL: EU STREP project “Electronic Chemical Cell – ECCell” (www.istpace.org/ECCell/index.html). The project aims at establishing a novel basis for future adaptive embedded information technology at the molecular level by constructing the first electronically programmable chemical cells (ECCell).

TARPOL: EU Coordination and support Action “Targeting environmental pollution with engineered microbial systems á la carte – TARPOL” (www.sb-tarpol.eu). This CA aims at fostering synergies in the various interdisciplinary and emerging fields of Synthetic Biology and set a forum for discussion on its possibilities, on its needs and its boundaries with particular attention to clean production processes and bioremediation.

ASSYST: EU Coordination Action "Action for the Science of complex Systems and Socially intelligent ICT". The Action supports the consolidation and enlargement of the complex systems community and the projects supported under the COSI-ICT call.

MATCHIT: EU STREP Project "MATrix for CHemical IT". MATCHIT will develop programmable information chemistry by introducing an addressable chemical container (chemtainer) production system and interfacing it with electronic computers via MEMS technology with regulatory feedback loops.


External funds to support several workshops and conferences.
