malaria; the Sirene project that will connect Grid infrastructures in 12
European countries; the discovery of a nanoswitch for targeted drug
delivery; the Biomimetic Technologies project aiming to create first
soft-bodied robots; and the building of molecular computers.

Maybe, you prefer
to use the handy click-through menu below to learn more about a new
nanotechnology to determine gene expression; the Combined Predictive Model
to cut hospital admissions; an atlas revealing the dynamic behaviour of
proteins; the discovery of a new molecular pathway showing how cells
stick together; the delivery of life-saving drugs through "shopping bag"
molecules; and many more.
