The EDISON (Engineered Particles for Chemical Communication) project of Prof. Ramón Martínez-Máñez, funded by an Advanced Grant, focuses on the field of chemical or molecular communication. Its objective is the study, development and application of nanoparticles capable of communicating with each other and whose application may represent a revolution in the field.
Martínez Máñez will coordinate the EDISON project, which aims to respond to a challenge in chemical research: communication between nanoparticles and between nanoparticles and cells. This project could contribute to improve strategies for the prevention and treatment of diseases such as cancer or to combat resistant bacteria, among many other applications.
Ramón Martínez Máñez, researcher at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and scientific director of the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red de Bioingeniería, Biomateriales y Nanomedicina (CIBER-BBN), has obtained an ERC Advanced Grant -the most prestigious grant of the European Research Council- endowed with 2.5 million euros for the development of the EDISON project (Engineered Particles for Chemical Communication).
