SMALL scale engineering and development holds BIG potential for innovation in healthcare! This was evident at the Medicon Valley Alliance R&D Network meeting, showcasing how Nanomedicine holds innovation potential within:   ❇️ Detection, as shown by Yaman G. Göksel who presented Fluilux Diagnostics new competitive instrument for therapeutic drug monitoring based on surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.   ❇️ Treatment, illustrated by Gustav Emilsson who presented how AstraZeneca develops lipid nanoparticles for drug delivery as well as Sabrina Valetti from Malmö University, who demonstrated how small drugs and proteins can be encapsulated and administrated via small porous particles.   ❇️ Prevention, shown by Vladislav Genevskiy who explained the development of nanoimprint lithography based antimicrobial surfaces at Obducat Group.   These innovation examles point to the need for thorough characterization! The small scale nature of nanomedicine can make the characterization complicated when utilizing conventional methods and might require unique and more advanced Research Infrastructures.   👉 This is where #HALRIC can help! In HALRIC we aim to spur innovation through access to cross-border front-end technologies, expert instruments, and advanced data handling solutions. If you have an idea, innovation, or project which you would like to develop further by the use of unique Research Infrastructure we might have the network and/or funding for you!   📢 31 May 2024, HALRIC is closing the next call for pilot project proposals to connect researchers, know-how and research infrastructures #overgransen in the Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak-Hamburg Region!
