Bioengenharia de modelos ósseos biomiméticos para o desenvolvimento de terapias anti-tumorais e regenerativas (ÉLPIS)

PartnerOther National

Development of a multifunctional biomaterial patch for buccal delivery of peptide-analogue treatments (BUCCAL-PEP)

PartnerEuropean Comission
Oral delivery of peptide macromolecules represents significant challenges for pharmaceutical research, including low bioavailability, dosage control and undesirable food interactions. The intention of the EU-funded BUCCAL-PEP project is to develop a technological platform for oromucosal delivery suitable for a broad range of peptide-ana...

BlueGlue: Bioinspired medical adhesives from marine macroalgae derived biopolymers (BLUEGLUE)

PartnerOther National
BLUEGLUE project aims to value and promote the sustainable and controlled production of macroalgae, a way that they can be certified and used into the development of products with high added value (biomedical products). The project is aligned with the structures of the circular and biological economy and aims to provide a boost to the emerging i...
