Results in brief

INNOVATIVE WATER-SOLUBLE PHYTOMATERIAL INHIBITORs FOR ALZHEIMERs AND PARKINSONs DISEASES PREVENTION

The main objectives of the PHYTOAPP project are the design, development and delivery of innovative water-soluble Phytochemical Inhibitors for Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases prevention. To achieve this goal the PHYTOAPP project will explore the innovative nanotechnological solutions to overcome the challenge related to the phytochemical’s limitation related to their low water-solubility. At the same time, the PHYTOAPP project aims to exploit the cross-sector potential of nanotechnologies and advanced materials to drive competitiveness, sustainability and well-being in the health-care system and industry. At a research level, the PHYTOAPP project also aims to promote new skills acquisition, training opportunities for early-stage researches and to create long-standing collaboration between research partners internationally. For the society, this project can be of great benefit specially if we consider the growing phenomena of the aging of population in the European Union member states. This comes with the challenge that countries have to improve their capacities to tackle diseases that are usually related to aging populations, as it is the case of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson. In this sense, the EU demographic change requires innovation to enhance healthcare delivery, quality of life and active ageing, to promote better health-care for this population, which is the goal of this project. Indeed, the development of the proposed solutions come as a significant opportunity for the industry as well considering the growing market.

Project objective

Under PhytoAPP project it is expected to build new and enhance existing network of international and inter-sectoral cooperation in the form of joint research and innovation activities between the project Partners with multidisciplinary skills and complementary competences in nanomaterials, physics, engineering, green chemistry, biochemistry and medical science.It will significantly strengthen the interaction between academic and non-academic sectors within MS/AC Countries Portugal, Netherlands, Denmark, Slovak Republic, Ukraine and Third Country Kazakhstan, in the field of the innovative phytoproducts application for the health and well-being. The main objectives of the PHYTOAPP project are design, development and delivery of the innovative water-soluble Phytochemical Inhibitors for Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases prevention. To achieve this goal the PHYTOAPP project will explore the innovative nanotechnological solutions to overcome phytochemicals limitation faced by their low water-solubility via fullerene-enhanced innovative synthesis of water-soluble green Phytocomplexes, by means of cooperation between Researchers and SMEs Partners from EU and Partner’s Countries. On the other hand, the involved parties are eager to promote innovation in this area in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community which seek to strengthen the scientific and technological basis of Community industry and encourage it to “become more competitive at the international level”
