- Advanced therapies experiences

Six parters (5 Italian and 1 from Ticino), working in the field of research and development of medtech and biotech, will develop a new knowledge platform during the 3-year project, to transform brilliant ideas into advanced products for the treatment of various chronic diseases.

ATEx will offer a means to put online all the existing skills, promote development of new solutions, identify external partners who can deal with regulatory and funding aspects, and transfer such knowledge in a systematic and organic manner to the market.

- Bioactivity-directed exploration of the phytocannabinoid chemical space

Phytocannabinoids, a class of over 200 meroterpenoids, show a surprising diversity of macromolecule targets and qualify as privileged structure for biomedical research.
However, their chemical and biological space has so far been systematically investigated only around the so-called “big 4”, that is, the major non-native (decarboxylated) constituents of the plant (delta9-THC, CBD, CBG and CBD), and mostly in the context of a single end-point (CB1).
