Towards MXenes’ biomedical applications by high-dimensional immune MAPping (MX-MAP)

Project title: Towards MXenes’ biomedical applications by high-dimensional immune MAPping (MX-MAP)
Project contract number: 101086184 - HORIZON-MSCA-2021-SE-01
Project implementation time: 01.11.2022 -30.10.2026
Project coordinator: Universita Degli Studi di Padova, Italy
Research coordinator in Latvia: Dr. Maksym Pogorielov (Advanced Biomaterials and Biophysics Laboratory)
Project manager in Latvia: Inga Šīrante, FST Deputy Executive Director for Project Affair
Project funding (University of Latvia share): 230 000 EUR
 

Summary:

MXenes are a new family of recently discovered 2D transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides. The immune characterisation of the new materials on the basis of their physical-chemical and immunological properties will open up perspectives for the development of new therapeutic applications of nanomaterials in tissue engineering, cancer therapy, as antibacterial agents, and as immunomodulators. 

The MX-MAP project will develop key strategies for MXene medical applications. The long-term goal of MX-MAP is to create a pipeline using new MXene nanomaterials for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of immunological compatibility in biomedical applications. This international research/training programme aims to support the career development of young researchers with an interdisciplinary vision of science.

Marka Truhina apmaiņas vizīte Esenes Universitātes slimnīcā

Maģistrantūras students Marks Truhins 2025.gada 1.-30.novembrī sekmīgi pabeidzis viena mēneša pētniecības apmaiņas vizīti Esenes Universitātes slimnīcā Horizon MSCA-SE projekta MX-MAP ietvaros.
Uzturēšanās laikā Marks ieguva padziļinātu apmācību par ELISA un PCR metodēm un pētīja, kā MXēnu nanodaļiņu izmērs ietekmē šūnu imūnās atbildes. Šie rezultāti sniedz svarīgu ieskatu MXēnu mijiedarbībā ar dzīvajām sistēmām un veicina to turpmāko biomedicīnas pielietojumu attīstību
