Engineering next level photosynthesis-PhotoBoost is a 4-year research and innovation action that aims to significantly improve the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants. The optimisation of photosynthesis will be achieved by capitalising on multidisciplinary approaches including computational biology, metabolic modelling, systems biology, enzyme and pathway engineering, synthetic biology, and the multigene transformation of two major C3 crops: potato and rice. The PhotoBoost project will deliver ...

This project aims to characterise the mechanisms through which microRNAs and small non-coding RNAs act to regulate cellular processes focusing on Naïve CD4 T cell activation and viral replication - namely HIV - and to explore their potential use as a therapeutic co-adjuvant agents or targets.
