Nanoparticles for diabetes treatment

Cooperation between scientists from universities and institutes of Ukraine

Project acronym: Nanoparticles for diabetes treatment

Grant holder: Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University

Project goals: Develop nanoparticles able to decrease blood glucose

Specific project objectives are:

1. Synthesize and characterize nanoparticles of different composition, size and structure.
2. Perform biological testing of the possibility of using nanoparticles.
3. Develop a strategy for the testing of particles in people with diabetes.

Expected results:

1. Establish the possibility of using nanoparticles for the treatment of diabetes based on tests conducted on model objects.
