AMCARE Advanced Materials for Cardiac Regeneration (AMCARE)

Coordinator: ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS IN IRELAND (IE)

The Advanced Materials for Cardiac Regeneration (AMCARE) consortium aims to establish a translational research program to develop truly restorative therapies for acute myocardial infarction repair (MI) by optimising cardiac progenitor cell (CPC) therapy using smart biomaterials and advanced drug delivery, and coupling these therapeutics with minimally-invasive surgical devices. Two distinct biomaterial delivery systems for CPCs will be investigated in the AMCARE work programme including HA-based patches (CardioPatch) and HA-hydrogels (CardioGel). We also propose to develop two prototypes of n…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €6.8M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2013-11-01 to 2017-10-31.
