Photopharmacology: From Academia toward the Clinic.

Project description

New technology for applied photopharmacology

Photopharmacology is a method that has recently emerged in medicine based on the use of light to activate and deactivate drugs. The method has now large clinical applications and is intended to be used widely in pharmacology. The EU-funded Photopharm project plans to develop a platform technology that will connect theoretical scientific research to applied technology. During the procedure, new photopharmacological targets will be subjected to examination and evaluation. In addition, in vivo proof of concept will be produced to demonstrate the feasibility of the technology for further clinical applications.

Objective

''Photopharmacology: from academia toward the clinic'' aims at the development of our platform technology from an academically emerging field towards a technology which has proven clinical applicability. Within this project novel photopharmacological targets will be evaluated and investigated. Additionally, in vivo proof of concept will be generated to make our technology ready for further clinical validation.
