Brief description: The key goals of the INMARE project are: a) the training of a talented and experienced researcher in the science, technology and industrial application of magnetic nanomaterials and drug delivery systems. The host and partners have critical knowledge and expertise in these fast growing fields. And b) the design, fabrication and (further) development of a minimally invasive, externally triggered, on demand drug delivery system. This interdisciplinary training program includes fabrication and full characterization of injectable nanocomposites, development of physical models of the drug diffusion in hydrogels, and application of AC magnetic fields for drug delivery. Such a program will support the talented researcher, who has already gained expertise in the area of nanomaterials for biomedical applications during his postgraduate career, in his endeavour to increase his exposure to both academic and industrial collaborations.
