THE SEAL OF EXCELLENCE certificate

seal

Impetux has received THE SEAL OF EXCELLENCE certificate from the European Commission as the institution managing Horizon 2020, the EU Framework Program for Research and Innovation 2014-2020,  following the evaluation by an international panel of independent experts and for being SUCCESSFUL IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE EVALUATION PROCESS with  A HIGH QUALITY PROJECT PROPOSAL.

The ‘Seal of Excellence’ is a quality label, awarded to project proposals submitted for funding under Horizon 2020, which succeeded in passing all of the stringent selection and award criteria but could not be funded under the available Call budget. The ‘Seal’ identifies, therefore, promising project proposals which merit funding from alternative sources (public or private), i.e. national, regional, European or international.

Time dependence of trap position (top), force signal (middle) and Ca2+ fluorescence signal (bottom) recorded during a membrane tether pulling experiment. The force and Ca2+ ion channel activity signals exhibit negative correlation.

Force and displacement data for two beads stimulated at frequencies of 4 Hz and 0.25 Hz. The progressive reduction of the beads displacement is in concomitancy with an increase of the applied force and loading rate.
