Project description
Innovative magnetic nanomaterials for cancer research and therapy
Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the STRIKE project aims to develop a research and training network in nanomedicine/precision medicine, paving the way for a new generation of entrepreneurial and innovative multidisciplinary young researchers. The focus will be on the design and synthesis of nanostructured magnetic materials for the development of magnetic field-responsive nanotherapeutics for osteosarcoma combinational therapy. In addition, the developed nanomaterials will be investigated for liquid biopsy applications in breast cancer patients. The STRIKE objectives include training eight highly skilled doctoral candidates and strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation within the EU nanomedicine and precision medicine research networks.
Objective
STRIKE-DN will raise excellence in research and training in nanomedicine/precision medicine creating new generation of entrepreneurial and innovative multidisciplinary doctoral candidates. New experimental aspects on design and synthesis of nanostructured magnetic materials will be applied to the development of innovative magnetic field-responsive nanotherapeutics for osteosarcoma (OS) combinational therapy. Moreover, the peculiar features of STRIKE nanomaterials will be exploited for liquid biopsy using biological samples of BRCA+ breast cancer (BC) patients. The cooperation among outstanding universities, research institutes and industries will provide the DCs with trans-national exchanges and the most innovative research trainings in novel anticancer therapeutic strategies, including in vivo biological evaluation, imaging in OS and early diagnosis in BC. STRIKE will provide enhanced career perspectives in academic and non-academic sectors for 8 DCs in highly innovative fields by interdisciplinary mobility among 12 institutes/companies in 8 EU countries. STRIKE aims to: 1) develop 8 highly skilled employable doctoral candidates; 2) enhance interdisciplinary capacity and cooperation within the EU nanomedicine and precision medicine research networks; 3) strengthen EU’s competitiveness and growth in nanomedicine and precision medicine through the translation of the consortium research/innovation outputs. The consortium will fulfill its goals through: a) achieving research excellence; b) providing a complete cutting edge research and innovation training program with some of the European top research institutes and industry partners; c) hosting interdisciplinary and commercial workshops, seminars and outreach events; d) maximizing knowledge transfer using Open Science and patents; e) delivering highly trained professionals, whose profiles fit within the requirements of academia, industry and public/private institutions, fostering their employability and promoting the innovation of EU research.
