- IRC projects - IRC postdoctoral fellowships exploring theimpact of exogenous nanoparticles (NPs) particles) on communication between cells by means of a new class of EV (exosome-like particles with particle cores and EV-derived coatings) secretion in vitro. Such studies will drive research innovation in understanding the mechanisms by which exosome-like EV-coated particles are produced upon internalisation of NPs and elucidating cell-cell communication pathways mediated by such EV-coated particles.
- MSCA - aims to develop a novel framework to enable a better and more general understanding of how engineered NPs interfere with the regulatory processes of exosome secretion.NP-cellstudies will be undertaken in vitroto focus on the effects that NPs have on cell-specific exosome samples. The project will systematically investigatehow this interaction depends on the properties of NPs (e.g.well-defined size, shape), their biomolecular interactions and their cellular entry mechanism.
- HRB - Distinct from existing NP-based technologies, this project aims to develop and use biological biocompatible and harmless vectors to bring active organic NPs in close proximity of selected target neurons.
