Our partner Lorenzo deli Esposti, PhD student at the ISTEC-CNR, won the best poster award at the 30th Annual Conference of the European Society for Biomaterials, held from September 9 to 13, in Dresden, Germany. The conference covered all aspects of biomaterial research and Lorenzo was there to present his latest results with the innovative biocompatible and biodegradable nanoparticles developed within Cupido. The presented results demonstrate that the inhalation of small (<50 nm in diameter) calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CaPs) allows for their rapid translocation from the pulmonary tree to the bloodstream and to the heart, where their drug-cargo is quickly released. The poster won under the category Young Scientists – congratulation to Lorenzo for this achievement!
