Objective
The project will provide a more efficient needle-less technology for immunotherapeutic treatment of HIV-1 and Hepatitis, contributing to European health policies: Fighting illnesses and diseases; Regulation (EC) No1568/2003. Our idea is to develop an efficient and cost effective needle-less injection device for accurate and safe delivery of drugs into the lower epidermal layer of the skin (stratum germinativum) that will enable us to impact the dendritic cells in the epidermal layer enhancing significantly the efficiency of immunotherapeutic treatment of HIV-1, hepatitis and several types of cancer. Immunotherapeutic drugs need to reach the Langerhans cells in the lower part of the 80-110 micrometer thick epidermis layer to be effective and current syringe injection does not fulfil this requirement. To achieve this, an ultra-low cost and disposable system needs to be developed that targets the most effective depth for injection at the epidermis/dermis barrier of human skin.

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.
