Functional magnetic materials for biomedical applications

Objective

A range of new medical therapies and diagnostics based on magnetic nanomaterials have recently been proposed. These include cancer therapies, stem cell therapies, microfluidic diagnostic devices and immunoassays. However, very few biotechnology magnetic nanomaterials are currently available commercially; most investigators fabricate their own. This is a serious limitation to the development of this emerging area within nanomedicine. This proposal aims to transfer a number of magnetic nanomaterials from the University physics laboratory where they were developed as part of an ERC AdG grant into an existing small company where they can then be made available to researchers across the world on a commercial basis.

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.

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.
