C2 PHARMA is in early stage of developing, testing, validating a novel Chitosan nanoparticle drug delivery technology (Novochizol™) applicable to a wide range of drugs to formulate them into aerosols with unique properties: 1. Strong adherence to the tissue where the aerosol is administered 2. Sustained release of active ingredients, locally, without systemic distribution 3. Biocompatibility with inherent anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties 4. Aerosol stability 5. Fast to manufacture (at lab scale at this stage, non-GMP) Novochizol™ aerosol formulations may be of high ...
Development of a service platform for import of international trade, e.g. medical protective clothing
The international trading platform TEGGS combines customs and logistics. The current COVID-19 pandemic in Europe requires two things: Fast delivery of medical equipment and transparent quality management products. Medical equipment such as face masks are produced almost entirely outside the European Union. tuomi uses its expertise in NFC technology to allow the buyer to exactly track the transportation and manufacturing process of the product.
Easy ambulatory diagnostic profilometry for Covid19 symptoms tracking: computed in Luxembourg
This project contributes to the following work packages: WP01: Infection prevalence, WP02: Predictive markers for covid-19 severity, WP05:real-time epidemiological data on COVID-19 positive or suspected cases treated in the ambulatory setting, WP07 : map and analyse COVID-19 incidence in Luxembourg, WP05 : exit strategy and 'controlled return to normalisation'. In order to easily track symptoms and severity of Covid19 diagnosed or suspected subjects, we propose a simple ambulatory diagnostic system for creating a functional capacity profilometry of an individual with modular approaches i...
DECARTES
Decontaination using Augmented Reality To Ensure Safety Decontamination and cleaning of areas infected with Covid-19 is a significant problem. In particular, how to ensure that operatives correctly clean all areas. This project will build on work from several H2020 and FNR projects to look at how to decontaminate spaces using augmented reality techniques but with a focus on Covid-19. Using visualisation techniques combined with computer vision and other tracking technologies, users will be able to see where the trainees have cleaned, and areas that they have not cleaned. The primary purp...
An integrative network-based drug repurposing approach for COVID-19
We aim at analyzing the publicly available transcriptomics data generated by exposing human lung epithelial cells to SARS-CoV particles and measuring the differences in the gene expression. We will use a molecular network analysis approach to identify a set of key genes, that represent key regulators in the SARS-CoV gene expression signature. This signature will be filtered to distinguish pathological from protective responses and used to identify drugs that could potentially reverse pathological features of the disease phenotype based on the anti-correlation of known drug-response gene exp...
COVID19 Literature Bio-Curation, Text-mining and Semantic Web Technologies
The world wide scientific response to COVID-19 pandemic is reflected in the ever-growing scientific literature. Enriching our current knowledge base (https://biokb.lcsb.uni.lu) with these publications requires joint efforts at each stage of the chain of process involved in the text-mining pipeline. This pipeline comprises several challenging tasks such as part-of-speech tagging, entity recognition and normalisation, or event extraction, which are essential to discover relevant knowledge in the form of entities, relations and events. Such knowledge is then made available to the public via se...
The role of air pollution in transmission and severity of COVID-19
Based on superficial inspection and anecdotal evidence, there appears to be a close correlation between being a hotspot area for COVID-19 prevalence or severity on one hand and air pollution on the other hand. For instance, the highest COVID-19 prevalence region in Italy (Lombardy) is also one of the most polluted areas of the country. This apparent correlation has led some researchers to hypothesise that air pollution may play a causal role in increasing COVID-19 transmission and severity. While such a link is plausible, as COIV-19 is a respiratory disease and as there are well-established...
#covid19 - History and collective memory in the making on social media
#covid19 - History and collective memory in the making (short title : #covid19) aims at observing, analyzing and understanding the history and collective memory 'in the making' of a global and 'total' event, i.e. the worldwide covid19 crisis. The project will be based on several datasets (see below, the 'source' section) from different social media platform. Among the research questions that will be asked, three of them will be of particular interest: • What is the role of the (non-)memory of previous historical events in the way people respond to this pandemic? • How do people ad...
