Project Title	Nanoparticle enabled in vivo diagnostics and drug delivery.
Summary	Biopolymer coated nanoparticles have a great potential both for diagnostics and drug delivery. The NANOMEDIC project will develop new nanoparticle enabled in-vivo diagnostic and drug delivery systems. The delivery systems involve: (i) nebulizer based technology for delivering drug payload to the epithelial lining of the lung and (ii) functionalized nanoparticle drug release structures, which can be utilized, for example, in catheter based delivery systems.
