Lodz University of Technology, in a consortium with business partners from Poland and Turkey, will develop a household wind turbine capable of cooperation and integration with other renewable energy sources. The National Centre for Research and Development and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey have granted more than €300,000 for the research.
The appearance of pathogenic nucleosides in mitochondrial RNA molecules can cause severe dysfunction of mitochondria, which are the energy centres of our cells. Their damage gives rise to symptoms of hypertension, type 2 diabetes and Leber hereditary neuropathy of the optic nerve (LHON). Researchers at the Faculty of Chemistry of Lodz University of Technology, under the direction of Assoc. Prof. Grazyna Leszczynska, are looking to identify the cause of these dysfunctions at the molecular level.
Lodz University of Technology is the leader of a project implemented together with business partners from Poland and Turkey. The aim of the consortium is to develop a home-based wind turbine capable of cooperation and integration with other Renewable Energy Sources.
New computational tools based on the DMRG (density matrix renormalization group) method will be created at the Institute of Physics of Lodz University of Technology in cooperation with scientists from the Czech Academy of Sciences, within the framework of the OPUS LAP project funded by the National Science Centre and the Czech Science Foundation.
In the new edition of the Erasmus+ programme for activities with non-affiliated (non-EU) third countries, Lodz University of Technology will receive funding to carry out exchanges with universities in 18 countries on almost all continents.
This is the question Professor Halina Abramczyk of the Interdepartmental Institute of Radiation Technology at the Faculty of Chemistry of Lodz University of Technology is seeking to answer. The National Science Centre has awarded her nearly PLN 1.5 million for research into the recognition of cell signals in cancer.
After the first stage of admissions to Lodz University of Technology, there are still available places for first-cycle studies: full-time (740 places) and part-time (55 places). Documents can be submitted until 14 September.
Technologies of innovative bioproducts, such as biochar or biofuels, are the goal of research institutions and companies associated with the BioTrainValue project. The funds for the widely planned activities come from the EU, from the Horizon Europe Maria Skłodowska-Curie Staff Exchange programme. The originator and coordinator of the project is Dr Eng. Szymon Szufa, a young scientist from the Faculty of Process and Environmental Engineering at TUL.
Dr. Eng. Bartosz Sekuła received the NCN grant in the Sonata competition for the project “Structural and functional studies of plant enzymes of arginine metabolism as a molecular target in the design of new plant protection products. The results of the work will be important for food production and our health.
PhD students of the Institute of Molecular and Industrial Biotechnology successfully participated in scientific conferences.
