Understanding the physico-chemical basis of transdermal drug delivery using nanomaterials (NANOLEM)

Start date: May 1, 2014, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

Drug delivery transport across the cell membrane involves many biological processes. It is complex and dynamic in nature. In this regard, model lipid membranes which mimic many aspects of cell membrane lipids, are a very useful membrane model. It has been shown that physical characteristics of drug delivery nanoparticles such as polarity and surface charge can significantly influence their interac ...

Novel nanoparticles for drug delivery to the skin (NANODRUG)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The aim of the NANODRUG Network is to contribute to the defragmentation of the emerging field of nanomedicine by providing a unique training programme that will cover all different aspects ranging from NP synthesis and characterisation, drug delivery, molecular biology to nanotoxicology, preclinical studies, risk assessment and nanotechnology policy making. The NANODRUG training program is far sup ...

Dual stimuli-responsive nanoparticles as novel topical drug delivery systems (STIRENA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2015,

"This project aims to develop new stimuli-responsive nanoparticles (SRN’s) reacting to changes in temperature and pH, and to evaluate their applications for both topical and transdermal drug delivery. New multifunctional materials, thermoresponsive as well as nanogels and dual pH-Tm responsive materials, using a combination of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), poly(2-oxazolines) and chitosan will be sy ...

NATURE’S FIRST LEAD IN THE FIGHT AGAINST MESOTHELIOMA: THE TOTAL SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF JBIR-23 AND RELATED COMPOUNDS (JBIR-23)

Start date: Jun 13, 2011, End date: Jun 12, 2013,

"Human malignant pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive (fatal) lung cancer which is always associated with previous asbestos exposure. Typically symptoms do not appear until 35-40 years after the original exposure, with life expectancy then 12-18 months. Given the great use of asbestos during the 20th century (before its long overdue ban in 1985) and this long latency period, it is no surprise t ...
