Reconfigurable Colloids For Therapeutic Applications

Objective

ReCoTA aims to establish an interdisciplinary training network on the emerging topic of smart colloidal materials for therapeutic applications. Over the past decades, major efforts have advanced the development of colloids (i.e. micro and nanoparticles) for drug delivery. Yet, while these systems have demonstrated improved pharmacokinetics, they mainly act as passive, individually operating carriers that release their payload by simple diffusion or unspecific matrix degradation. There is a clear need for strategies that achieve selective therapeutic action at the target site. ReCoTA will take the next step by designing colloids via molecular and nanomaterials engineering, to obtain programmable assemblies capable of reading environmental cues and translating them into localized therapeutic delivery. The consortium includes top-tier academics (including several ERC AdG/CoG/StG/EIC grantees) and 9 companies with synergistic expertise in the areas of materials engineering, synthetic chemistry, drug development and manufacturing scale-up. 15 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) will be trained in molecular building-block design, fabrication/functionalization of micro-/nano-assemblies, and rigorous biological evaluation. The training program – covering scientific and non-academic aspects – will prepare DCs for careers across academia and industry. Altogether, ReCoTA will install European leadership in next-generation colloids aligned with health-innovation priorities.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
