Soft Biocompatible Polymeric NANOstructures:
A Toolbox for Novel Generation of Nano Pharmaceuticals in OphthaLmology
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE)
Aim of the Project
The project aims to develop a rational, knowledge-based toolbox for the fabrication of biodegradable and biocompatible associating (gel-forming) polymers, nanogels and nanoparticles tailored as multifunctional therapeutic agents in ophthalmological applications. We seek for novel methods to replace currently used formulations with biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic/natural polymers.
Our work plan
Our work plan includes the design, synthesis and characterization of novel macromolecular architectures dictated by theoretical and simulation outcomes on the properties of the materials, followed by toxicity and in vitro/in vivo testing of the materials/structures and industrial feasibility studies.
Our Approach
The synergy resulting from the cooperation between world-leading in their respective fields academic groups and companies though the effective secondments plan will provide a unique interdisciplinary research and training environment that will allow to address unmet challenges in the area and will ensure European leadership in cutting-edge technologies.
Follow our training events
We will organize summer schools, training courses and international conferences to ensure that the scientific results will be made accessible to scientists and the students receive the level of expertise needed for today’s hi-tech industry.
