NANOSMARTS Smart nondimensional biosensors for detection of tumor cells and cytotoxic amyloids intermediates

Coordinator: VINNYTSIA NATIONAL M.I. PYROGOV MEDICAL UNIVERSITY (UA)

This project integrates the development of (a) bioconjugated silicon nanoparticles (NPs) as new, < 3nm, fluorescent probes and (b) dual-emission band fluorescent biosensors for protein conformation investigations to be applied in diagnostic procedures related to tumor biology and neurodegenerative diseases. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an important therapeutic target in a variety of tumors, particularly malignant gliomas where mutation and/or amplification of EGFR is often observed. The laboratory has demonstrated in a pilot study the specific binding of biomolecules conjugated …

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: €15k awarded to the consortium.
