Nano-ImmunoEra Project

Our aim is to develop, optimize, and assess novel molecular diagnostic platforms with a focus on cancer monitoring. Combining different nano- and microscale materials and devices, with antibody-responsive biomolecules serving as recognition elements.

The proposed exchange program aims at boosting academic careers of young researchers, and at promoting a transfer of knowledge between Italy, USA, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and South Africa by building a multicultural team.

A key aspect of Nano-ImmunoEra is its interdisciplinary nature to use a variety of approaches and strategies. The project brings together nucleic acid chemistry, molecular bioengineering, electrochemiluminescence and CRISPR-based technology.

Our aim is to encourage the mobility of researchers in Europe and to boost the careers of European researchers. It is essential to make Europe attractive again to the rest of the world by giving young people a taste for research and scientific careers.
