Brain-Specific, Modular and Active RNA Therapeutics (B-SMART)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2021,

The overall objective of B-SMART is: 1. to design modular nanoparticles, 2. to manufacture them via a quality-by-design protocol, 3. to achieve delivery of therapeutic RNAs to the brain and treat neurodegenerative diseases. I. To design modular nanoparticles consisting of o an active RNA payloado established (lipid-based), emerging (trigger-responsive polymer-based) or exploratory (extracellular v ...

Analytical and Characterisation Excellence in nanomaterial risk assessment: A tiered approach (ACEnano)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2020,

An increasing number of nanomaterials (NMs) are entering the market in every day products spanning from health care and leisure to electronics, cosmetics and foodstuff. Nanotechnology is a truly enabling technology, with unlimited potential for innovation. However, the novelty in properties and forms of NMs makes the development of a well-founded and robust legislative framework to ensure safe dev ...

Development of an integrated approach based on validated and standardized methods to support the implementation of the EC recommendation for a definition of nanomaterial (NANODEFINE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Nanotechnology is a key enabling technology. Still existing uncertainties concerning EHS need to be addressed to explore the full potential of this new technology. One challenge consists in the development of methods that reliably identify, characterize and quantify nanomaterials (NM) both as substance and in various products and matrices. The European Commission has recently recommended a definit ...

Engineered nanomaterial mechanisms of interactions with living systems and the environment: a universal framework for safe nanotechnology (NANOMILE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The NanoMILE project is conceived and led by an international elite of scientists from the EU and US with the aim to establish a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of nanomaterial interactions with living systems and the environment, and uniquely to do so across the entire life cycle of nanomaterials and in a wide range of target species. Identification of critical properties (physico-che ...

Ultra-versatile Nanoparticle Integration into Organized Nanoclusters (UNION)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

UNION will develop nanoparticle (NP) assembly techniques, and assembly monitoring technologies to prepare novel hierarchically-ordered nanoparticle clusters (NPCs).By improving control over the synthesis and assembly of NPs we will produce materials with tailored and predictable properties. Furthermore, by incorporating hierarchical control into the assembly (through the type, size and spatial dis ...

European Soft Matter Infrastructure (ESMI)

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

The central objective of this ESMI proposal is to create a top-level interdisciplinary research infrastructure available to a broad European materials research community. This is of crucial importance to the EU in view of the European strategy for nanosciences and nanotechnology and its implementation report that identifies “a lack of leading interdisciplinary infrastructures”.ESMI offers the mos ...
