Project description Biophotonics solutions for diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease Show the project objective Hide the project objective DIAGNOPTICS deals with novel tools for the diagnosis and prognosis of skin cancer. Biophotonics-based tools for in-vivo and ex-vivo analysis of lesions will be combined in a pilot diagnostic workflow, which pursues using them as consecutive filters discarding benign lesions, and confirming the malignancy of others in order to guide them to surgery only when required. The in-vivo techniques will better suggest the diagnostic of malignant lesions beyond classical dermoscopy. A combination of non-invasive mature techniques (which will deliver 3D shape, multispectral, and blood flow images) will be combined in an imaging platform for scanning lesions. Then, lesions suspicious to be malignant will be analyzed using in-vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). When malignity is confirmed and surgery required according to clinical practice, an ex-vivo analysis in the surgical room using multimodal confocal microscopy (MMC) will minimize the excision of healthy tissue around the lesion.The consortium involves all actors required. UPC is an experienced Centre in photonics engineering, and INPT is expert in blood flow analysis using laser imaging. Hospital Clínic from Barcelona (and IDIBAPS, its associated research institute), and Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Policlinico di Modena provide the clinical environment required for implementing the pilot. Both clinical teams are world-class experts in in-vivo and ex-vivo skin cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Finally, two SMEs pursue the commercialization of the results of the project. Carril is a medical device company interested in the exploitation of the in-vivo imaging platform, while MAVIG is a manufacturer of RCMs and MCMs with products already in the market for in-vivo and ex-vivo analysis of skin cancer lesions. All partners have had research collaborations with some other in the consortium in the recent past, including the participation of four of them in COST Action BM1205 "Skin Cancer Detection for Laser Imaging" Programme(s) CIP - Competitiveness and innovation framework programme (CIP)(2007-2013) Topic(s) CIP-ICT-PSP.2013.3.5 - Biophotonics solutions for diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease Call for proposal CIP-ICT-PSP-2013-7 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme PB - Pilot Type B Coordinator UNIVERSITAT POLITECNICA DE CATALUNYA EU contribution € 662 489,00 Address CALLE JORDI GIRONA 31 08034 Barcelona Spain See on map Region Este Cataluña Barcelona Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Mercedes Torrellas (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (7) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all MAVIG GMBH Germany EU contribution € 526 307,00 Address STAHLGRUBERRING 5 81829 MUNCHEN See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Christian Stoian (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Total cost No data CONSORCI INSTITUT D'INVESTIGACIONS BIOMEDIQUES AUGUST PI I SUNYER Spain EU contribution € 200 840,00 Address CALLE ROSSELLO 149 PUERTA BJS 08036 Barcelona See on map Region Este Cataluña Barcelona Activity type Other Administrative Contact Pastora Martinez Samper (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data HOSPITAL CLINIC I PROVINCIAL DE BARCELONA Spain EU contribution € 209 255,00 Address CALLE VILLARROEL 170 08036 BARCELONA See on map Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Fernando Aguado (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data SONMEDICA SL Spain EU contribution € 111 160,00 Address CALLE CONGOST, PISO EN 28 08024 BARCELONA See on map Region Este Cataluña Barcelona Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Jorge Vazquez (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Total cost No data INSTITUT NATIONAL POLYTECHNIQUE DE TOULOUSE France EU contribution € 224 802,00 Address ALLEE EMILE MONSO 6 31029 Toulouse Cedex 4 See on map Region Occitanie Midi-Pyrénées Haute-Garonne Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Hervé Perthuis (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI MODENA E REGGIO EMILIA Italy EU contribution € 362 261,00 Address VIA UNIVERSITA 4 41121 Modena See on map Region Nord-Est Emilia-Romagna Modena Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Anto De Pol (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data PAUSCH MEDICAL GMBH Germany EU contribution € 74 886,00 Address GRAF ZEPPELIN STRASSE 1 91056 ERLANGEN See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Uwe Müller (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Total cost No data
