Advanced Radiotherapy, Generated by Exploiting Nanoprocesses and Technologies (ARGENT)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

Cancer, the second most common form of death after cardiovascular disease, is a major European health concern. In 2006, 3.1 million new cases were diagnosed and 1.7 million deaths were attributed to cancer within Europe. The European Commission has a “European Partnership for Action against Cancer” (IP/09/1380) with the aim of reducing the number of cancer cases by 15% by 2020. A key challenge is ...

In-line characterisation of nanoparticles using a combination of analytical techniques in real time (In-Sight)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

In-Sight is a SME-driven project on the in-line characterisation of nanoparticles during nanomaterial manufacturing. This in-line characterisation is the ultimate goal. Within the time-span of the project (3 years) it is our objective to show that a combination of analytical techniques that are capable of real time measurements will provide valuable information for the nanoparticle user. It is our ...

Targeting alpha-particle emitting radionuclides to combat cancer (TARCC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

"This project aims at improving drug delivery to cancer cells by developing targeted radiotherapy with alpha-emitting radionuclides. Alpha particles emitted by radionuclides have short tracks (about 100 microns) in body tissues. As a result, they should be most appropriate to treat small-size tumours and isolated cancer cells. This project proposes the development of improved vectors and targeting ...
