Graphene-based drug delivery systems for treating MRSA infections (GraMI)

Partners


Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden)

Chalmers group

Chalmers provides expertise in graphene physics and synthesis (Prof. August Yurgens group) and bio-applications of graphene and microbiology (Prof. Ivan Mijakovic group).
This partner will carry out the synthesis of high-quality graphene, development of graphene-based coatings, material characterization, assist with API drug loading on nanocomposites and carry out in vitro evaluation of antibiofilm effects.


SINTEF (Norway)

SINTEF group

Drs. Andreas Åslund, Wilhelm Glomm, Francesca Di Bartolomeo, Kristin Degnes and Geir Klinkenberg provide expertise with synthesis of novel antimicrobial compounds, polymer composite design, synthesis, functionalization and characterization of magnetic and plasmonic nanoparticles. SINTEF is currently the coordinator of the reorganization of EU-nanocharacterization laboratory (EUNCL).
This partner will contribute antimicrobials to be loaded on drug delivery systems, assist with loading of on graphene carriers, provide nanoparticles to be used for graphene coating, perform polymer composite design and in vivo assessment of bioactivity and effect on wound healing.


Technical University of Denmark - DTU (Denmark)

Priyanka Singh

Dr. Priyanka Singh provides expertise in the biosynthesis of green nanoparticles, nanoparticle functionalization and their use against bacterial infections and other diseases.
This partner will contribute green nanoparticles synthesized at their facility, assist with nanoparticle coating and functionalization, including attachment of functional groups to assist targeting, loading and controlled release.
