FWO research community
The FWO research community is an international network of academic researchers with a focus on “nanomaterials for drug delivery and in vivo imaging”, sponsored by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO).
Aims
The research consortium aims to:
- Stimulate research towards the development of novel nanomaterials that can deliver a broad range of drugs to specific (diseased) tissues
- Gain fundamental insights into the behaviour of nanomaterials in a biological environment
- Develop cutting-edge nanomaterials for advanced in vivo imaging
- Better understand the relation between physicochemical properties of nanomaterials and their biological behaviour
- Introduce young Flemish researchers in an international network of respected researchers.
Partners
The consortium consists of mainly Belgian researchers and some scientists of other West-European countries involved in medical, biophysical, material engineering and biopharmaceutical aspects of nanomaterials.
