Financing under the Research Facilitation Fund, pursuant to Article 10 of Ministerial Decree n. 593/2000, for the development of the project entitled: “Studio e ricerca di materiali biocompatibili innovativi nano strutturati, con caratteristiche multifunzionali farmacologiche e di ipertermia localizzata, e delle loro applicazioni ai fini diagnostici e terapeutici (teranostica) in ambito medico”. – closed in 2019

The aim of the project is the acquisition of knowledge and skills supporting the study and the characterization of biocompatible nanostructured materials for biomedical-pharmaceutical applications, thus allowing the development of synthesis routes compliant with the current hygienic-qualitative requirements, through tailored research activities. Colorobbia aims to identify a series of bioactive, biocompatible synthetic materials in the form of nanoparticles, and to functionalize them with organic molecules, polymers or drugs based on their application purposes. Thanks to the chemical-physical nature of the basic material and the functionalizing elements integrated with it, the employment of the nanostructure in different areas of interest with multiple and different purposes becomes possible. The positive outcomes will allow Colorobbia to stand out in the national and international scene increasing its competitiveness thanks to the excellent know-how acquired. With this project, we intend to settle a series of industrial chemical-biomedical research activities on the synthesis and functionalization of innovative nanoparticle-like materials that are transversal to many different biomedical applications; the results achieved will affect different industrial sectors, considered of greatest interest for innovation and economic market spillover, such as diagnosis and therapy. The knowledge acquired in the project presented herein will be applied in the biomedical-pharmaceutical field, paving the way for the company towards markets that were previously hard to deal with, thus regaining competitive edge.
