Synthetic Forager

The single overarching goal of the SF consortium is to identify the neuronal, cognitive and behavioural principles underlying optimal foraging in rodents and to implement these principles in a real-world foraging artefact or the Synthetic Forager (SF.01). .

ReNaChip partners: What else do we do?




The SkinTreat project aims to realize the potential of customized treatments for managing skin syndromes. The consortium will develop and validate nano-chemical and bio- technologies to achieve an accurate match between drugs, drug delivery vehicles, skin diseases and sub pathogenic skin conditions per individual. The project will lead to a new generation of pharmaceutical products, as well as consumer personalized service, which tailor a remedy per customer’s needs.

The development of personalized skin therapy protocols will involve non invasive methods as well as minimal invasive skin sampling, thus achieving an accurate diagnostics of skin condition, an extensive analysis of biological markers and the establishment of biological profiles corresponding to skin diseases and skin sub pathologic conditions. A bio-informatics data mining algorithm will be developed, together with multifunctional biomarker analysis software and a computerized decision support system, to enable a refined personalized diagnosis then to propose a personalized prescription. The SKINTREAT concept will be evaluated by a pilot study.
