BONSAI
joins together 12 groups from 5 EU Member States (France, Germany, Italy, Romania and Spain) and a Russian partner
with
complementary expertise in:
-
material science
(synthesis of new nanoparticles through bottom-up strategies like
laser synthesis from gas-phase precursors and laser ablation in
liquids)
-
nanotechnology
(exploration and exploitation of novel optical and
magnetic properties that appear ONLY at the nanoscale and are truly
size dependent)
-
colloidal chemistry
(bio-compatibilization
of the colloidal nanoparticles by building-up a passive interface
between the artificial material and the physiological fluids)
-
biotechnology
(advanced imaging technologies in biological samples, development of
magnetic NP as contrast agents in Magnetic Resonance)
-
biomedicine
(toxicity studies of NP, up-take
of NP by specific tumor models, NPs distribution to specific organs
in relation to administration routes.
