Detection of endpoints and biomarkers of repeated dose toxicity using in vitro systems (DETECTIVE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"Assessment of repeated dose toxicity is a standard requirement in human safety evaluation and relies on animal testing as no alternatives are currently accepted for regulatory purposes. An integrated research strategy for the replacement of animal tests needs to comprise the development of biomarkers of long-term toxicity in human target cells. To this aim, the DETECTIVE project will set up a scr ...

Ultrasensitive plasmonic detection of single nanoparticles (NANODETECTOR)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Controlled or uncontrollabel disposing of nanoparticles in various components of man made or biological matter, may have wanted or undesired consequences. Developing the diagnostic tools to detect and characterize the ’grey goo’ is one of the challeneges of nanotech-era. A development of general technology for detection and analysis of single nanoparticles in complex environment and a development ...
