BIOEMTECH is glad to announce that the project “POLYTHEA: Design and photo-optimization of Photosensitizer for Human Health and Food security applications or “how light can save lives””, submitted under the H2020-MSCA-ITN-EJD-2017 call has been funded! The Polythea consortium proposes to develop (i) new tetrapyrrolic photosensitizers for various types of photodynamic therapy including anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and immune-activating application, improving their photophysical and biological properties; and (ii) innovative bio-inspired drug carriers or supports. BIOEMTECH is the imaging partner of the consortium and we look forward to working on one more challenging project!”
