9 million euros to develop nanoparticles that recognize proteins

The CHIRAL-PRO project coordinated by CIC biomaGUNE’s Ikerbasque Research Professor Luis Liz-Marzán has been awarded one of the prestigious Synergy Grants from the European Research Council (ERC), which aim to fund very ambitious, high-risk research projects involving groups from different disciplines and different countries. The project, funded to the amount of 9,272,460 euros, will be run by CIC biomaGUNE’s BioNanoPlasmonics group and the Biomimetic Materials group at CINBIO (University of Vigo), both led by Professor Liz-Marzán, the group of Professor Sara Bals at the University of Antwerp and the group of Professor Nicholas A. Kotov at the University of Michigan; Liz-Marzán has long been collaborating with them both.

Professors Luis Liz-Marzán and Nicholas A. Kotov both are Mercator Fellows of the RTG 2767.
