Project description
Innovative in vitro diagnostics platform for immunoassays
In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on blood or tissue samples taken from the human body. IVD tests detect diseases or can be used to monitor a person's health condition to help cure, treat, or prevent diseases. In precision medicine, IVDs identify patients who are likely to benefit from specific treatments or therapies. Complicated reimbursement policy issues create financial barriers for the companies developing novel IVD immunoassays. The EU-funded NIMM project aims to create a platform for the development of accurate, sensitive, and low-cost immunoassays for antibody-related conditions using a novel fluorescent nanosensor-based technology.
Objective
Antibody-detection related to disease or to drug monitoring demands novel IVD tests that provide robust, rapid and early- stage diagnostics for improved and early on-set treatments. However, companies developing novel IVD immunoassays face an important barrier related to reimbursement policy issues when the IVD tests are introduced into national health systems. This barrier discourages many companies from pursuing the development of novel diagnostic tests because the investment necessary to introduce novel IVD tests in the market is hardly matched by the return of the investment. NIMM aims at providing a platform for the development of accurate, sensitive and inexpensive immunoassays for antibody-related conditions using a novel fluorescent nanosensor-based technology. The outcome of the project will pave the way to a commercial product to be sold in the Immunochemistry/Immunoassay segment of the IVD market, currently valued at 15 USD billion. Potential stakeholders in the outcome of NIMM include Public Health authorities and pharmaceutical companies.

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 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.
