FABF-TP EC Russia Coordinated CallsKBBEKBBE--20082008--33--11--04 :04 : Plant Plant -- produced Vaccinesproduced Vaccines
This project will focus on the development of innovative vaccines using plants as production systems.Plants offer many advantages over current production platforms by combining the benefits of traditional fermentor systems (containment, precise growth conditions) with those of plants (economy, safety, scalability). Specific technologies have been developed recently for the production of high-value recombinant proteins in plants. Remaining bottlenecks for these technologies include low yield of recombinant proteins, high production costs and lengthy development and testing of the plants. The overall aim of the project will be to identify and establish higher antigen yields production systems, which are highly controllable and reproducible. This includes the selection of the most suitable plant species and culture conditions, improved understanding of antigen presentation and immunity, rapid screening and up-scaling, rapid development of vaccine variants and novel technologies for improved vaccine production.
Expected impact: High efficiency and low cost production of vaccines. The project is expected to contribute to the "EU-Russia Common Space for Education and Research" and to the S&T bilateral agreement between the European Community and the Russian Federation and to the EU-South Africa dialogue on KBBE on the basis of mutual interest and shared benefits.Scientific Officer: Tomasz Calikowski, email: [email protected]

Molecular Modelling for Rational Design of Industrial Molecular Modelling for Rational Design of Industrial EnzymesEnzymes
Enzymes are increasingly used in the chemical industry. Computational chemistry, bioinformatics, enzyme structure modelling, molecular docking and dynamics, quantum chemistry and corresponding hybrid methods have been developed to describe the intimate details of the bio-catalytic mechanisms. The objective of the topic is to develop rational enzyme design methods based on molecular (in-silico) modelling in order to produce a next generation of highly efficient biocatalysts with an expanded range of substrates, improved enantio-selectivity and enhanced catalytic activity for industrially important conversions. Optimization of multi-enzyme complexes should also be considered. Research should address the development of quantitative parameters which adequately describe the efficiency of the biocatalysts under development. Improved enzymes are particularly required in certain technological areas, such as fine organic synthesis, bio-transformations, biomass conversion and the food industry.
Expected impact: Enhance industry's capabilities for rational design of biocatalysts and their fast quantitative evaluation. The project is expected to contribute to the "EU-Russia Common Space for Education and Research" and to the bilateral S&T agreement between the European Community and the Russian Federation, on the basis of mutual interest and shared benefits
