NANODIAGNOSTIC

Super-resolution microscopy for immune checkpoint inhibitors diagnostics

Grant period	2022-12-01 - 2024-05-31
Funding body	European Union
Call number	ERC-2022-POC2
Grant number	101100873
Identifier	G:(EU-Grant)101100873

Note: In the last decade, super-resolution microscopy techniques have emerged as powerful quantitative tools for biology. They have capabilities to visualize single molecules at the nanoscale opening the door to study biological processes at a level not accessible before. In the ERC StG NANOSTORM we showed the potential of these techniques providing new fundamental knowledge on the mechanism and design of new targeted therapies. However, some of the methods we developed have the potential to be translated into applied clinical diagnostic tools. In NANODIAGNOSTIC, we would offer a proof-of-concept of the application of super resolution microscopy and single-molecule imaging for cancer diagnostic, with a focus on patients stratification for immunotherapy. Novel advances in immunotherapies have brought the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) that re-activate the immune system against the tumor. Despite the high success of these therapies there is one main challenge: they are only effective on a limited portion of patients and current diagnostic approaches are not capable of stratifying patient successfully. NANODIAGNOSTIC will translate advance optical methods from an academic setting to the clinic and holds a great potential to provide new diagnostic methods to improve the outcome of immunotherapy.
