Multifunctional Nanotechnology for selective detection and Treatment of cancer (MULTIFUN)
Start date: Jun 13, 2011, End date: Jun 12, 2015,
The aim of the MultiFun consortium is to develop and validate a novel and minimally-invasive nanotechnology system to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment. MultiFun nanotechnology is based on multifunctionalised magnetic nanoparticles to selectively target and eliminate breast and pancreatic cancer (stem) cells. The improved magnetic features of the MultiFun magnetic nanoparticles will lead to p ...

Revolutionizing Understanding of Organic Solar Cell Degradation to Design Novel Stable Materials (SolarRevolution)
Start date: May 6, 2013, End date: May 5, 2015,
SolarRevolution aims to revolutionise the understanding of bulk-heterojunction organic solar cell (OSC) degradation by developing a detailed knowledge of the chemical and physical processes involved. This knowledge will be applied to the rational design of novel materials to give OSCs 20-year lifetimes and allow mass-market uptake of this low-cost, low-energy-footprint, transparent, lightweight an ...

Protein design to generate bio-functional nanostructures (Bionanotools)
Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2014,
The main objective of my research project is to understand how the structure and function of proteins are defined by their sequence and to apply learned rules to design new protein-based nanotools. In particular, I will focus on a type of proteins called tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR). They present a simple modular structure, where a small structural unit is repeated in tandem. Overall TPR domain ...
