Microbubble driven multimodal imaging and theranostics for gliomas (THERAGLIO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

Microbubbles (MBs) are used as contrast agent in ultrasound (US) imaging for a variety of tumours while little has been done for glioblastomas, a rare cancer. Intraoperative Contrast-Enhanced US-imaging (CEUS) using lipidic MBs hold promises in increasing extent of resection of such tumors. Furthermore, MBs gained recently interest as a delivery system for drugs. We will develop a new generation o ...

New Oral Nanomedicines: Transporting Therapeutic Macromolecules across the Intestinal Barrier (TRANS-INT)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

Despite the increasing number of macromolecules with potential impact in the treatment of devastating systemic diseases, these therapies have failed to deliver on their expectations because they cannot be administered in the fashion which is most cost efficient and has the highest patient compliance: the oral route. The availability of an oral form of administration could lead to a great improveme ...

Monoclonal ANTIbody-targeted CARBon nanobues against cancer (ANTICARB)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"ANTICARB attempts to exploit the advantages offered by a novel nanotechnology platform – carbon nanotubes – and apply them to a clinically established therapeutic modality – targeted antibody therapy – for the creation of hybrid nanotechnology-based monoclonal antibody targeted cancer therapeutics. ANTICARB combines two emerging technologies, antibody and nanotube technology, in a way that will a ...
