Reverse Osmosis for Clear Water

20 December 2018

Reading time: 6 minute(s)

Owing to their efficiency and environmental friendly technology, reverse osmosis-based water purification units have become indispensable elements of modern industrial water treatment technologies. The lifespan of these units, however, is not long enough, though it can be successfully extended through continual innovations. Hidrofilt Kft. also contributes to this objective with its project, which has earnt the company a HUF 400 million fund disbursed by the NRDI Office under the call for proposals “Support of business RDI activities” (VÁLLALATI KFI_16).

University-industry cooperation for molecular diagnostics & biomarker discovery

28 August 2018

Reading time: 9 minute(s)

Modern medicine relies more and more on knowledge acquired in molecular biology and genetics. Therefore, the research into molecular markers revolutionising the diagnosis of diseases has also become extremely timely both for academic basic research and for pharmaceutical research. In order to harmonise the efforts of discovery research and industrial pharmaceutical developments, the Molecular Biomarker Research and Service Centre of Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE Biotechnology HEICC) was established, about the goals and achievements of which, we interviewed Professor Imre Kacskovics, head of Department of Immunology of Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE).

We may have to rewrite everything we have thought of crystal nucleation in metals

27 August 2018

Reading time: 9 minute(s)

Professor László Gránásy and his team are engaged in modelling the formation of polycrystalline materials, a research they were granted funds for early in 2018 under the “Frontline” – Excellence Programme developed by the NRDI Office. The goal, after having fully understood the crystallisation process, is to use the results in biological systems.

Molecular fingerprints of synaptic functions

25 June 2018

Reading time: 9 minute(s)

Zoltán Nusser, Széchenyi and Bolyai Prize winning neurobiologist and member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) leads the Laboratory of Cellular Neurophysiology at the Institute of Experimental Medicine of HAS. His research was supported by a Momentum (Lendület) grant and an ERC Advanced Grant in the past five years. From 2018, the team continues its work with funding from the Frontline programme of the NRDI Office. His research focuses on the understanding of synaptic communication between nerve cells of the central nervous system.

The role of inflammatory processes in the diseases of the nervous system

21 June 2018

Reading time: 8 minute(s)

Recent research indicates that inflammatory processes play an outstanding role in the development of diseases of the nervous system, which are increasingly present in developed societies, however, the underlying mechanisms have not been properly understood. Ádám Dénes, biologist, explained one of their research projects in the field of neuroimmunology, which have been granted funding from the NRDI Office’s Fund as part of the National Competitiveness and Excellence Programme.
