Design of a versatile and fast colloidal sensor based on virus modified particles (VIROMA)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
"Viroma project aims to fabricate multiplexed bead-based arrays as sensing devices on the basis of virus capsid and virosome Layer by Layer-assisted assembly on colloidal carriers. The virosome based platform technology will be suitable for the detection of several analytes ranging from comparatively small molecules, of the size of dioxins to larger biomolecules such as small proteins. Such syst ...

Regenerable active polyelectrolyte nanofiltration membranes for water reuse and metal/acid recovery (LbLBRANE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2015,
The shortage of drinking water in many regions on the planet constitutes a real problem and hazard. The use of seawater, brackish water and wastewater for human consumption is not a new concept. In spite of the success of membrane technology in water reclamation, membrane separation systems suffer from a serious problem: membrane fouling. The main downside is an inevitabe increase in operation and ...

Design of Novel Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Based Delivery Systems for Therapeutic Antibodies and siRNA (DesiRNA)
Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2014,
The design and fabrication of biocompatible carrier systems for RNA based medicine and therapeutic antibodies equipped with multiple functions suitable for controlled and targeted delivery is the main scope of this proposal. General strategies for the encapsulation and release of RNA and proteins will be developed on the basis of the Layer by Layer technique (LBL) employing core materials tailored ...

Transport studies on polymer based nanodevices and assemblies for delivery and sensing (TrasNade)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2014,
TRANSNADE is designated for the study of the transport properties of nanoscale assemblies and devices fabricated from polymers and polyelectrolytes, such as polyelectrolyte multilayers, polyelectrolyte brushes, polymer micelles, and polymersomes. Transport properties are fundamental for the rational design of delivery devices since the mechanism of transport will finally define release properties. ...

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 ...
