Our research portfolio includes the discovery and preclinical development of nanomedicine constructs based on novel, advanced nanomaterials of synthetic and biological nature
Great emphasis is placed at the interplay between in vitro and in vivo studies and how rationally-designed and engineered nanoscale platforms can be safely translated into clinically effective therapeutics and diagnostics.
RESEARCH TEAMS
The Nanomedicine Lab 2.0 consists of six research teams, each led by a Faculty member or a Senior Scientist, each building expertise and knowledge around a specific focal area of nanomedicine, but all synergistic to one another.
FUNDED PROJECTS
The Nanomedicine Lab is currently leading or participating in the following collaborative projects:
HYBRID MINDS: Experiential, Ethical and Legal Investigation of Intelligent Neuroprostheses
The Hybrid Minds project aims to lay the foundation for a unified theoretical approach to the ethical-legal assessment of intelligent neuroprostheses. The approach is informed by the experiences and perspectives of users as well as dialogue within the neuroengineering community and other key stakeholders.
