Application of Advanced Nanotechnology in the Development of Innovative Cancer Diagnostics Tools

The proposal aims at generating an innovative nanotechnology-based intrinsically high throughput platform to carry out real-time, highly sensitive, and inexpensive quantification of biomarkers for cancer risk assessment.

The team consist in a multidisciplinary network including  chemists, physicists, biologists and clinicians, closely working together. A wide range of sensing technology is proposed, including nanomechanical sensors, electrochemical immunosensors, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanolithography, microfluidics, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and in-silico antibody design. A translational team made of medical doctors working in research-oriented hospitals provides a continuous feedback interaction framework for clinical inputs and validation activity.

The project involves: the Cancer Researc Hospital (CRO) in Aviano – PN, the University Hospital of Verona, the University Hospital of Udine, The university of Trieste, the University of Padova, SISSA, IOM-CNR and the Synchrotron of Trieste (Elettra).
