 NANO-HEALTH |
|
|
“Nanostructured Material for Drug Targeting, Release and Imaging” is coordinated by JOANNEUM RESEARCH and focuses on the development of new therapy solutions for diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer applying innovative nano-particles.
Nano-HEALTH is a cluster project in the field of nanomedicine which runs for a total of seven years and currently combines 16 project partners. During the first four years of the project, the nano-particle
platforms consisting of four nanoparticle families (NPs) were developed and optimised for their use in the targeted transport of active ingredients and for diagnostic purposes. Starting from this NP platform, the remaining term of the project will be used to optimise selected NPs to ready them for use in different fields, e.g. for oral administration, the development of a contrast medium for magnetic resonance and for SPECT/PET, the in-vivo tracing of stem cells and the early diagnosis of atherosclerotic plaques.This will open new opportunities in invasive therapy forms, but also will drastically improve the quality of life of the patients.
