Workshops – Meetings for the NanoForOsteo Project:

 

In the project meetings, the consortium partners regularly present high quality, current reports of scientific and technological progress and best practices used through the multi-disciplinary field of the project from nanotechnology, nano biomaterials, drug delivery systems, to the nanomedicine on osteoporotic bone.

 

Kick off Meeting of the Project Partners: Venue: Riga, Latvia; Riga Technical University: Institute of Chemical Engineering and Rūdolfa Cimdiņa Riga Biomaterials Innovation and Development Centre; Meeting date: 15-11-2013 - 19- 11- 2013

 

Kick off Meeting of our joint Euro Nano-Medicine project took place in Riga on November 15-19, 2013. At this beginning meeting, all project coordinators from the 5th research Units in Europe participated and presented their infrastructure: laboratories and equipments in agreement with the research proposal. Also, we took action on the research activities and we tried to optimize our collaboration for our successful European research project.

 

The First Meeting of the Project Partners: Venue: Babes-Bolyai University, Department of Chemical Engineering, Physical Chemistry Center, Cluj-Napoca, Romania; Meeting date: 28-05-2014 – 01-06-2014.

 

The first consortium meeting was hosted by Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, Physical Chemistry Center, Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and took place in Cluj-Napoca. With this occasion, we presented the infrastructure within Physical Chemistry Center, all laboratories and equipments in agreement with the research NanoForOsteo project. Also, we tried to optimize our collaboration for our successful European research project. At this meeting, the technological platform for nano phosphates pure and multi-substituted with different cations was deeply presented and discussed within the laboratories of Physical Chemistry Center, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Moreover, we made various joint experiments to demonstrate the manufacture of optimised products and discussed the requirements for the final NanoForOsteo products with biomedical applications.

 

The Second Meeting of the Project Partners, Venue: Bordeaux, France, ICMCB-CNRS, 87, Av Dr. A.Schweitzer, 33608 Pessac & HPBioTECH, 31 avenue de la Poterie, 33170 GRADIGNAN ; Meeting date: 21-11-2014 – 25. 11.2014.

 

These project meetings were very important for the exchange of scientific ideas and for the deeply discussions of obtained results across all project objectives and deliverables to finally realize the implementation of project results in the field of nanomedicine, with the aims to enhance the treatment of osteoporotic bone fracture. In addition, the high-pressure protocol for the sterilization of paste made of inorganic particles and injectable hydrogel was discussed. Some important joint experiments were made. Visits in the labs were made and all equipments were commented.

 

The 3rd Meeting of the Project Partners, Venue: Riga, Latvia, Riga Technical University: Institute of Chemical Engineering and Rūdolfa Cimdiņa Riga Biomaterials Innovation and Development Centre; Meeting date: 02.05.2015 – 06.05.2015.

 

Project meetings provided the framework of discussions among consortium partners on high quality current reports of scientific and technological results and progress, at the mid term of the project. It was emphasized the project management, mile stones and deliverables up to that date. Also, the drug delivery systems to the osteoporotic bones were debated in details.

 

The 4th Meeting of the Project Partners, Venue: Campo Blenio, Ticino, Switzerland; AO Foundation, AO Research Institute for musculoskeletal regeneration, biomedical and orthopaedic applications; Meeting date: 03-10-2015 – 07-10-2015.

 

Every partner successfully presented the original results in agreement with the working plan and with all scientific and technological activities. Research data identified the best concentration of nano materials and of multi-functional composites for osteoblast and osteoclast biocompatibility. The cellular behaviour and the evaluation of cytotoxicity represent an essential step for quick in vitro osteogenesis /osteoclastogenesis. In addition, the possibility for joint publications or inventions was discussed. These aspects will be emphasized in the project NanoForOsteo meetings, next year in 2016.

Dissemination 2016:

 

The 5th Meeting of the Project Partners: Venue: Babes-Bolyai University, Department of Chemical Engineering, Physical Chemistry Center, Cluj-Napoca, Romania; Meeting date: 21-04-2016 – 27-04-2016.

 

The 5th consortium meeting was hosted by Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, Physical Chemistry Center, Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and took place in Cluj-Napoca. With this occasion, we presented the recent developments of NanoForOsteo innovative materials in agreement with the research NanoForOsteo project.

NanoForOsteo new materials were synthesized and physically and chemically characterized. The optimum concentrations of essential elements were determined to have enhanced biological activity in cells culture and consequently, to be appropriate for fracture treatment of osteoporotic bones.

Also, we tried to intensify our collaboration for our successful European research project. At this meeting, the technological platform for nano phosphates pure and multi-substituted with different cations and anions was deeply discussed and we made various joint experiments to demonstrate the advance nanotechnology of optimised products and discussed the requirements for the final NanoForOsteo products with biomedical applications.

 

The 6th Meeting of the Project Partners, Venue: Bordeaux, France, ICMCB-CNRS, & HPBioTECH; Meeting date: 17-11-2016 – 22-11-2016.

 

These project meetings were very important for the deeply discussions of obtained results across all project objectives and deliverables to finally realize the implementation of project results in the field of nanomedicine, with the aims to enhance the treatment of osteoporotic bone fracture. The exchange of scientific and technological results was very intense and an working plan was developed to finalize all products and increase the number of ISI publications or the number of inventions. In addition, the high-pressure protocol for the sterilization of pastes and powders made of inorganic particles, injectable hydrogel and injectable composites was discussed and evaluated. Some important joint experiments were made. Visits in the labs were made and all equipments were commented and planned for future collaborations.
