Nanoscale Functionalities for Targeted Delivery of Biopharmaceuticals

Abstract
The present project aims at the development of innovative multidisciplinary approaches for the design, synthesis and evaluation of functionalized nanocarriers and nanoparticle-based microcarriers for the treatment of various diseases based on targeted, controlled delivery of therapeutic peptides and proteins (biopharmaceutics).
The present IP integrates the scientific activities and complementary skills of researchers coming from 13 EU countries and the state of Israel, in an attempt to ensure breakthrough advances in novel biopharmaceutics delivery systems. The Consortium consists of 12 University departments, 6 research institutes, 6 SMEs and 3 large industries. An efficient management scheme has been established to ensure the fulfillment of the IP’s scientific, technological and exploitation objectives.
