Specific Targeting of Organelles using Peptide-Polymer Vehicles (STOPP Vehicles)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

In the past ten years, research in the area of drug delivery has focused on the development of vehicles that can target specific cells in the body and on the development of vehicles that specifically deliver a drug within these cells. Today, science is going one step further and the creation of vehicles that can target specific organelles within the cell is the new challenge. In this project, I ai ...

Bringing the artificial pancreas home (AP@home)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Description In order to improve treatment of diabetes patients at home, the main goal of AP@Home is to build and evaluate an artificial pancreas (AP). The AP will allow automated glucose control: It monitors your blood glucose (sugar) levels and a software algorithm calculates how much insulin to deliver at any time via a built-in insulin in ...

Nanopatterned scaffolds for active myocardial implants (NanoCARD)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Cell therapy and tissue engineering are emerging as novel therapeutic paradigms for myocardial repair. The rationale behind the cell replacement approach is based on the assumption that an increase in the number of functional cardiomyocytes within the diseased area may improve the mechanical properties of this compromised region. A common strategy attempts to initially combine, ex-vivo, cells with ...

Nanoscopically-guided induction and expansion of regulatory hematopoietic cells to treat autoimmune and inflammatory processes (NanoII)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

We propose a multidisciplinary program, focusing on the development of novel approaches for directing the differentiation, proliferation and tissue-tropism of specific hematopoietic lineages, using micro- and nano-fabricated cell chips. We will use advanced nanofabricated surfaces functionalized with specific biomolecules, and microfluidics cell chips to specify and expend regulatory immune cells ...

Development of High Performance Diagnostic Array Replication Technology (HiPerDART)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Development of High Performance Diagnostic Array Replication Technology (HiPerDART) As with any new technology, the use of DNA microarrays has presented a number of important obstacles, many of which have limited their ability to move beyond research applications. For example, the data obtained from a traditional microarray experiment can fluctuate dramatically due to small perturbations in assay ...
