TERADOT consortium will implement this project with the aim of reaching its strategic objective: the consolidation of the consortium scientific and technical competencies (in particular those of the P3 partner with relaunch potential) in the field of econanotechnologies and advanced materials by supporting / developing the existing research competences and the transferability of its research results. The TERADOT Consortium is an alliance that will devote its efforts to capitalize the potential of nanotechnologies by creating new teranostic platforms based on Carbon Dots (CDs) in order to radically change the proceedings to diagnose and treat cancer. Building on the significant preliminary results obtained by the project's members, the consortium represents a systematized initiative, comprising four public sector institutions, having the potential to be expanded with private-sector entities, designed to accelerate the application of these new concepts of cancer diagnosis / treatment. The project consists of three distinct subprojects aiming at: 1. Obtaining and testing of some CDs-type nanostructures starting from imidic precursors, suitable as teranostic investigation / anti-tumor treatment platforms; 2. Obtaining and testing of polymeric biocomposites containing imidic CDs, suitable as teranostic investigation / anti-tumor treatment platforms; and 3. Developing a pilot-scale process for synthesizing CD-type nanosciences for medical applications. The TERADOT project proposes to achieve these objectives by accomplishing several specific output indicators, of which the most important are: the employment of 8 young researchers, obtaining 4 new products, 1 new technology for CDs preparation, minimum 8 articles in high impact journals, 5 patent requests (4 national and 1 international) which will farther facilitate the collaboration with economic entities as potential beneficiaries.
