In the #MIRIA project, Takis is responsible for evaluating the #antiviral properties of nanocoatings by measuring the residual infectivity of #viral pathogens on eukaryotic cells after prolonged incubation with coated or uncoated materials at different temperature conditions.
So far, Takis optimized an antiviral assay to check the properties of tested #nanocoatings against an engineered adenovirus able to be detected for measurement of viral activity.
We recently had the chance to participate in the 5th Consortium Meeting of the MIRIA EU project, hosted in Grenoble by CEA, where we shared our latest results, contributing to the identification of the best nanocoatings candidates.
MIRIA is an ambitious initiative focused on the development of antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal nanocoatings for everyday surfaces, with the goal of enhancing public #safety in environments where the risk of cross-contamination is high.
We are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of science with our other EU partners, creating solutions that have the potential to significantly impact public #health across Europe!
