Inhibition of coronaviruses infections using innovative nanostructures – NanoMERS
The main goal of the NanoMERS project is the identification of specific and efficient nanomaterials derived anti-MERS-CoV agents effectively inhibiting viral entry and their in vitro and in vivo testing. The focusis on the use of carbon based nanostructures, notably modified C-dots and graphene-dots and nanoparticle formulations of poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA).
Quantum Dots as Redox Photocatalysts for Organic Synthesis – PhotoRedoQs
The aim of this project is to develop the use of photoexcitable nanoparticles for the photocatalysis of new free radical reactions in the field of organic synthesis.
Sustainable intensification of fruit production systems through innovative pest biological control technologies – Pest free fruit
In sub-Saharan Africa, fruit production is affected by pests that strongly impact on attaining food and nutrition security. The excessive reliance on chemicals is not sustainable, and current pest control methods are insufficient to minimize crop losses. Innovations relying on ecologically-based control become crucial to respond efficiently to sustainable fruit production, as well as societal concerns for safer and nutritionally-balanced diets, better health and environmental protection.
