Label Free Nanoscopy Using Infra Red (LANIR)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Every year, Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects about 800,000 new patients in Europe and directly causes 50% of dependency of aged persons. Currently there is no test to diagnose this disease. There is a great need to improve outcomes for patients with lung cancer which causes between 15-28% of all cancer deaths in Europe.Chemical and structural imaging with nanoresolution under ambient conditions ca ...

Safe Nano Worker Exposure Scenarios (SANOWORK)
Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
The main goal of Sanowork project is to identify a safe occupational exposure scenario by exposureassessment in real conditions and at all stages of nanomaterials (NM) production, use and disposal.In order to address this and more specifically the issues introduced by NMP.2011.1.3-2 call, we intend to:1. contain hazard and worker exposure potential by developing exposure mitigation strategy based ...

Health Impact of Engineered Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Response, Bioimaging and Distribution at Cellular and Body Level (HINAMOX)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
Metal oxide and metal NPs are particularly dangerous for two reasons: their special catalytic activity coming from the properties of their nanointerface may interfere with numerous intracellular biochemical processes and the decomposition of NPs and the ion leakage could heavily interfere with the intracellular free metal ion homeostasis, which is essential for cell metabolism. A very specific pro ...
