Project overview
METRINO is all about getting the tiny details right in the world of nanomedicine. This three-year project, with its €2.6 million fund, is where Europe's best experts unite to tackle the big challenge of measuring small objects with robust and precise methods. Nanomedicines are very tiny particles - around 10-9 metre - designed to detect disease and heal our bodies more effectively than traditional diagnostics and medicines. But their tiny size and complex nature makes them tricky to work with. That's where METRINO comes in – think of us as the quality checkers. We're creating the must-have protocols for scientists to measure these particles precisely, ensuring they're safe and ready for use in the clinics. It's about making sure these potential medical innovations are up to the task before they ever meet a patient. With METRINO's work, the next wave of medical innovation is not only brilliant but also measured reliably, guaranteeing that these advanced treatments are as safe as they are groundbreaking.
In a nutshell, About METRINO
The METRINO project, a cutting-edge European project financed by the European Partnership on Metrology (EURAMET), spearheads the advancement of nanomedicine metrology. The dynamic consortium unites 9 metrology institutes, 3 universities, 3 large RTOs, 2 pharmaceutical company and 1 SME producing innovative nanotherapeutics, 1 hospital and the ETPN association in the collaborative effort to refine measurement methods and create reliable reference materials associated to nano-enabled clinical formulations. METRINO aims to support industrial stakeholders in implementing regulatory directives (e.g. EMA, MDR, and FDA). Our mission is to support the quality control of nanotherapeutics, including synthetic lipid-based particles such as liposomes and LNPs-RNA, and metal oxide nanoparticles, facilitating the seamless integration of nanomedicine into healthcare.
We believe METRINO has the potential to transform the European nanomedicine landscape, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and a more competitive European health technology industry.
