BIONANOSMART_DDS Biopolymer-Based Nanoparticle “Smart” Drug Delivery Systems and their Biopharmaceutical Application by Oral Administration
Coordinator: Centro de Investigacion en Alimentacion y desarrollo (MX)
This initiative aims to gain both fundamental understanding and applied knowledge on novel polysaccharide-based nanoparticles to be utilized as ‘smart’ advanced delivery systems of therapeutic biomacromolecules for oral administration. To this end, nanoparticles will be harnessed from chitosan and other polyionic polysaccharides of biomedical use, cross-linked with a natural non-toxic biocompatible agent. Sensitivity to changes in temperature and pH will be conferred by modifying the surface charge (zeta potential) by modifying the local hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance the nanoparticle surfac…
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: €8k awarded to the consortium.
