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…

…to test bioconjugated nanocarriers directly on cancer cells. “I hope we will take the research another step further,” she says. Ludmila Žárská, PhD. student of medical biophysics, is another of the Nano4Tarmed´s “pilot” researchers. This project led by doc. Vaclav Ranc aims to design and implement active-drug-delivery nanocarriers targeting directly the cancer tissue. In fall,…

Jan Belza, a PhD student of physical chemistry, is one of two Nano4Tarmed´s “pilot” researchers selected from doctoral students, that are soon going to join the research teams of partner institutions in Ireland and Italy. They will be investigating the different phases of an anti-cancer nanomaterial drug delivery process.
