Special Session on Nose-to-Brain Delivery of Biopharmaceutics for the therapy of central nervous system diseases (Bio2Brain MSCA Project)
The Special Session on Nose-to-Brain Delivery of Biopharmaceutics for the therapy of central nervous system diseases will promote the research and training activities of the Bio2Brain Marie Skłodowska-Curie EU Project. Bio2Brain provides a unique opportunity for 13 early stage researchers (ESRs) to pioneer new paradigms and treatments for neurological diseases and will establish the foundation for the future transfer of the developed technologies for subsequent clinical development and GMP manufacturing.
During the Special Session 13 individual research projects will be presented:
- Project 1 – Particle-based formulations for the intransal transmucosal delivery of Biopharmaceuticals
- Project 2 – Bio-based hydrogels as drug delivery systems for the intranasal transmucosal delivery of Biopharmaceuticals
- Project 3 – (Bio)polymer-based particulate formulations for the intranasal transmucosal delivery of Biopharmaceuticals
- Project 4 – Analysis of mAb transport and its dependency on Fc-interacting molecules in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo
- Project 5 – Safe-by-Design
- Project 6 – Nose to Brain application of wildtype and engineered antibodies in the pathophysiological context in vivo
- Project 7 – Advanced imaging approaches for dissecting the mechanisms of release and trafficking of Biopharmaceuticals
- Project 8 – A computational approach to optimal design of DDS
- Project 9 – Development of new polymeric nanogels as drug delivery systems
- Project 10 – Development of new micro-polymers for intranasal drug delivery: study of interfacial behaviour with biological membranes
- Project 11 – Rational design of a panel of antibodies targeting Nogo-A
- Project 12 – Rational design of a panel of antibodies targeting LINGO-1
- Project 13 – Hyaluronan based hydrogels for mucosal drug delivery
Special Session on Smart, Multifunctional Dental Implants (I-SMarD EU Project)
The Special Session on Smart, Multifunctional Dental Implants is supported by the EU-Funded Project I-SMarD (link) that aims to promote the sustainable development of the next generation dental implants, using advanced manufacturing techniques and novel nanomaterials. During the Special Session the topics that will be discussed are:
- Delivery of “smart”, multifunctional titanium implants which:
- can detect the changes in the surrounding microenvironment and respond by releasing agents to prevent bacterial colonisation;
- will have the appropriate structure to match the anatomical characteristics of dental tissues and the components to promote the formation of implant/bone and implant/soft tissue interfaces,
- Utillise additive manufacturing techniques aiming to promote near-patient manufacturing towards increased functionality and personalisation of our dental implants,
- Achieve cost optimization of the different materials and fabrication procedures in order to deliver an effective medical device,
- Deliver technologies and tools that can benefit the development, design and evaluation of medical devices, such as Finite Element models for biomechanical analysis of the dental implants and optofluidic bioreactors that will be an intermediate evaluation step between in vitro testing and animal trials.
