Overview

The objective of this work is to develop a novel drug delivery system for breast cancer treatment under Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Navigation. The idea is to exploit the use of magnetic gradient fields in the MR scanner to propel and track the drug coated nano particles simultaneously.

Team

This is a collaborative project involving investigators based in the US and Europe. The expertise of the team includes design and fabrication of nano/micromechanical systems, image processing, navigation algorithms, robotics, modeling and control of smart systems and MR physics. The team comprises of:

Events

  • Teleconference call on January 08, 2009 involving Dinos, Noby, Antoine, Jay and Tim (for Christian) to discuss the short term and long term goals of the project as well as the future course of action.
  • Personal meeting on January 31, 2009, in Boston, MA, USA. Participants: Jay, Dinos, Christian and Tim. Discussions about the prospects of joint applications to different open calls. Planning of joint experiments in Boston.
  • Planned joint experiments in Boston. Planned visits:
    • Christian (April/May 2009)
    • Tim (May/June 2009)

Support

This work is being supported by the following grants:

  • European Consortium Grant (number: ...)
  • ...
  • ...

It is planned to apply for the following grants:

  • NSF PIRE (deadline February 26, 2009)

Additionally applications to the following may be useful:

  • EU: FP7-PEOPLE-2009-IRSES (deadline March 27, 2009)
  • NIH R01 [[1]](deadline June 1, 2009)
  • possibly EU HEALTH

Progress
