New OPUS 20 NCN in JCET

The results of the OPUS 20 competition announced by the National Science Center (NCN) in Krakow are already known. The list of grants that have received funding also includes the project of PhD Anna Bar: “LDL-mimetic liposomal contrast agent for MRI-based detection of increased endothelial permeability in the early phase of endothelial dysfunction in vivo“. The research will be carried out at the interdisciplinary laboratory of the Jagiellonian Centre for Experimental Therapeutics (JCET).

  • Budget: PLN 2 496 000
  • Implementation period: 48 months

The overall aim of this project is: firstly, to develop optimized MRI-based methodology for the endothelial permeability assessment in murine models in vivo and secondly to use this optimized method to characterize endothelial permeability changes induced by disease development and in response to pharmacotherapy.
