The approaching conclusion of NANO4TARMED (Advanced hybrid theranostic nanoplatforms for an active drug delivery in the cancer treatment) from the Twinning call of Horizon2020 brought the need to recapitulate the results of this 3.5-year international scientific collaboration. Therefore, CATRIN as the Coordinator invited partners from the Consiglio Nazionale Delle Ricerche and the National University of…

The first group embarked on a journey of laboratory discoveries, where they precisely measured the conductivity and pH of carefully selected beverages. Engaging in proof reactions of chosen ions using the drop method on a plate, they even experimented with decolorizing red wine through adsorption on activated carbon. The laboratory became a hub of activity…

Recently, from the 23rd to the 28th of October 2023, a group of research managers embarked on a short-term internship under the NANO4Tarmed project (Lucie Hrabalíková, Martin Grepl, Jana Marková, Andrea Nogová, Monika Klimparová, Dominika Knappová). The mission was to expand skill set and understanding of the pre-award/post-award phases, ultimately aiding the support of ongoing…

In an exciting chapter of their lives, a group of seven spirited students set out on a journey to explore the magic of science and its potential to transform the world of medicine. Their quest led them to two enchanting destinations – Italy and Ireland. There, they uncovered the hidden treasures of groundbreaking research, honed…

Consortium Nano4Tarmed is developing 2D nanoplatforms for active drug delivery and diagnosis of osteosarcoma. Population growth is shrinking, mainly due to the overall fertility rate that dropped from 1.59 in 2016 to 1.53 in 2019 in the European Union.1 An expected decrease in the following years means that the European population is constantly decreasing. The U.S. Census Bureau…

A special event of a kind took place in October for the whole Nano4Tarmed team. On October 4th, 2022 all partners and their research teams met in person at CATRIN, Palacký university Olomouc. Due to previous pandemic restrictions, it was the 1st in-person meeting since the beginning of the project in January 2021. Teams from…

NanoInnovation Conference & Exhibition took place in Rome, October 19-23 2022 (https://www.nanoinnovation2022.eu/).It represents the reference national event for the wide and multidisciplinary community involved in the study and development of micro and nanotechnologies and in their integration with other enabling technologies (KETs) in all fields of application. NanoInnovation has always been a unique and unmissable…

Advancing in her professional skills and learning new research methods are the two outcomes that Ludmila Zarska points out as the most important benefits from her three-month-long research stay at ISTEC, the partner´s laboratory in Italy. Ludmila is one of the two PhD students involved in Nano4Tarmed research. The focus on young researchers driven by…

An Article “Nanoplatforms to fight cancer” about the Nano4Tarmed research was published in March 2022 issue of Platinum, a special magazine of Il Sole 24 ore, an Italian business newspaper. Platinum is read by more than 800.000 readers with about 91.000 digital copies and about 146.000 printed copies distributed in Italy, UK, Germany, Belgium, Spain…

say in unisono two N4T´s young researchers after their return from abroad Opening of new horizons, merging of knowledge and merry social time with colleagues – these are just few experiences that Ludmila Zarska and Jan Belza have brought back to their alma mater from a month-long internship in partners´ laboratories. Platinum as a cancer…
