Vice-Chair
EU COST Action

Vice-Chair of the working group 3, “Preclinical Disease Models”, European Union COST Action 17140 Cancer Nanomedicine “Nano2Clinic”.

Finding efficient cancer therapies is an urgent and still unresolved problem and, in the fight against this disease, scientists are devoting tremendous efforts towards the utilization of nanomedicines. Nanotherapeutics exhibit major benefits with respect to unmodified drugs, including improved half-life, more efficient tumour targeting, and reduced side effects. However, only a few nanotherapeutics have reached the commercial level, most still being in the investigational phase. Accordingly, this Action aims at developing and strengthening industry-academia relations with an ultimate goal: fostering the clinical translation of nanomedicine from bench to bedside.
