Abstract:
The project: Controlling FRET by surface plasmon resonance in multiplayer „core-shell” metallic nanoparticles towards efficient nanoscopic light sources, proposes to develop a novel strategy for designing a model of multilayer core-shell AuNPs with optimized photophysical properties, consisting of a Au core (i.e. spherical and rod-like shape) and surrounding FRET pairs (i.e. fluorescent molecules and quantum dots). We will employ polyelectrolyte multilayers fabricated using layer-by-layer assembly as dielectric spacers for precisely tuning the Au core/acceptor/donor distances and to modulate FRET enhancement. We consider that our project represents a real challenge with promising results considering that the integration of NPs with fluorescent molecules into composite nanostructures where the emitters are precisely positioned relative to the NPs surface enables the use of these multilayer core-shell AuNPs as ideal efficient nanoscopic light sources.

Abstract:
Skin, the largest organ in the body of vertebrates, plays a significant role in preventing the body from many chemical or mechanical damages while impaired wound healing and its medical complications result in a large burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite extensive research efforts in the field of soft tissue regeneration is still not available an optimal wound dressing for consistent and generalized clinical practice. This proposal focuses on the research and development of new composite biomaterials that contains a polymeric hydrogel (properties: avoidance of open wound infections, maintenance of moisture, absorption and retention of exudates, thermal insulation, incorporation of suitable drug, gas permeability, painless removal and better wound monitor) and a nanoparticulated inorganic silicate biomaterial that contain therapeutic (Ca, Ce) and antibacterial (Ag) agents (properties: accelerate the healing of full-thickness dermal wounds, avoiding infections and enhancing of the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts, keratinocytes and vascular endothelial cells). The combinations of these materials in order to bring together their specific properties represent the highlight of this project. Moreover in the best of the project leader’s knowledge a composite biomaterial in the presented combination was never used in wound healing applications.

Abstract:
The project proposes the synthesis, characterization and testing of new carbon porous structures of aerogels and xerogels types, impregnated with Bi and Fe, in order to obtain amperometric sensors for the detection of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, etc.) and organic compounds (H2O2, pharmaceutical products). Thus, an alternative to the Hg electrode, use in electroanalytical applications, is promoted. In order to photoregenerate the sensor surface, for the first time for this type of sensor, the composite will be modified with TiO2 particles, a photocatalytic active material. Morphostructural characterization composite will be performed by N2 adsorption-desorption, TEM, SEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy. By composite immobilizing on the electrodes surface (glassy carbon, graphite), using polymer matrix (chitosan, Nafion), will decrease the composite amount used for the sensor preparation, thus reducing its cost and giving it qualities for miniaturization. In order to increase the analytical performance of the obtained amperometric sensor (sensitivity, selectivity, detection limit, stability, reproducibility), it will be electrochemically characterized by CV, SWV and tested for heavy metals and organic compounds (by CV, SWV, RDE) detection, respectively. The results will be the subject of four presentations at scientific meetings, three manuscripts submitted for publication in ISI journals and a submission of national patent requirement.

Abstract:
In order to reconstruct the past of human societies, determining their environment is a sine qua non condition. In many ways, traditional archaeological methods have reached their limits in obtaining relevant information of various natures, while the artefacts reveal too little about things as ethnicity, population movements, appearance and disappearance of certain societies.
Given the fact that humans are part of, and develop in a natural environment to which they adapt and transform (against their own interests at times), the relationship human – natural environment cannot be understood globally only through the methods of the traditional archaeology, but mainly with the contribution of pluri- and interdisciplinary research. It’s ideal to have a well balanced combination between the archaeological information and the extra-archaeological one, while holding the position of a well-tempered positivism.
Recently, in Romania there had been preoccupations (with remarkable results) for the study of the environment, resources, occupation and utilization of space by the prehistoric communities. Mostly were involved mixed teams where the initiative belonged to foreign specialists, while the addressed issues, although essential, were rather punctual. Thus, the respective contributions had a relatively limited impact on the development of the research and their perception was rather unilateral. These achievements cannot provide a coherent image of the matter, with a gap left to fill between the Romanian research and that from other countries.
Our priorities refer to reconstructing the human-environment interactions, the exploitation of the raw material sources, the dynamics of the human habitat through several pre- and proto-historic ages, defining the occupational and habitation structures and their specialization, as well as the adaptability of the human societies.
Reaching our goals rests, other than the methodologies specific to archaeology, on a converging assembly of various approaches, including pedological, sedimentological and palynological analyses, combined with determinations for the structure, composition and manufacturing technologies of various artefacts, based on a collection of relevant samples, taken from key-sites, referring to the mentioned ages.
The partners of this consortium clearly cover the necessities of our project, through the specific range of their activities and complementary skills. The Institute of Interdisciplinary Research for the Bio- and Nano Sciences (Cluj-Napoca) disposes of a team of well known specialists in the analytical fields, but also of the latest equipments, ensuring thus the accuracy and liability of the future analyses. The Institute of Archaeology „Vasile Pârvan” (Bucharest) is the owner of a substantial archaeological documentation and a large collection of finds coming mainly from systematic archaeological excavations, together with highly qualified researchers, involved in the study of the above mentioned periods. The selection and the sampling, as well as the interpretation and the correlation of the results fall within its competences. SIVECO (Bucharest) will ensure the good management as well as the IT support, the PR and the visibility of the project.
This partnership is a warranty for the feasibility of the project, through the certified experience of the human resources, existing equipments, and direct access to primary sources of information, together with the most recent international results in the field.
The project was conceived as a diachronic perspective where the archaeological research and other complementary scientific fields can generate a much comprehensive image over the human society in an area where so far we have only partial representations.
The estimated results will be disseminated as inter- and pluri- disciplinary studies in publications of impact at national and international level, and through conferences with well known field specialists as participants.

Abstract:
With the advent of molecular techniques, no biological discipline could remain the same. Today, classic theories and approaches are verified using methodologies involving molecular analyses. Often, the image presented by molecular techniques completely challenges past suppositions. Archaeology and history, two research areas apparently meant to remain in their “pure”, classic form, tend now towards interdisciplinarity. Being concerned with recounting and reconstructing past lives, they involve, at some point, the study of plant, animal and human remains, and thus, are also affected by the molecular revolution that sweeps other biological domains.
The extended team of this project reunites historians, archaeologists, biologists, MD’s and physicists who approach in a interdisciplinary manner the study of past human populations who occupied at diverse intervals and in diverse locations around the Carpathian mountains the territory of today’s Romania.
The objective of our project is to establish an autochthonous young interdisciplinary team to function beyond the end of the project in the field of bioarchaeology, with both scientific (academic research), commercial (expertise and analysis of samples for third parties) and formative (passing on information to the next generation of “bioarchaeologists” via courses, workshops, etc.) responsibilities.

Abstract:
This project from the Regenerative Medicine field aims to improve the result of tissue grafting by using Tissue Engineered hybrid synthetic scaffolds - stem cells (SC) (Embryonic and adult SC). SCs will be cultured on application – tailored scaffolds made of titanium with a porous or lattice structure and of bio-polymers, aiming the differentiation towards the tissue corresponding to the desired medical application. The SCs will be assisted during attachment by bioactive layers coated on the scaffolds and during differentiation by the synergistic action of the substrate characteristics and microspheres – mediated delivery of growth factors. The hybrid composites will be personalized, considering the scaffolds geometry and the sequence of multilayered cellular material.
The objectives will be achieved through a biomedical research consortium made up of applied and fundamental science, as well of medical institutions.
The project is made up of two directions. 1. to produce and describe structures capable to maintain and promote tissue development. 2. to describes the “in vitro” and “in vivo” interactions between the newly created materials and tissues. 3D-biocompatible materials, seeded with SC that differentiates into structures, with morphological and functional properties resembling those of the original tissues will be created.
The project is designed to generate information that will be used to develop devices that have the ability to replace complex tissue defects.
The benefits derived from these studies are:
• Economical and medical, in the treatment of patients requiring complex tissue reconstruction for lowering the medical costs and quick social reinsertion.
• The development of individualized therapies, validated by “in vitro” studies on reconstituted tissue fragments.
• The use of newly developed biomaterials and technologies for a large area of organ and tissue reconstruction by means of Tissue Engineering (liver,skin,bone,myocardium,neural).

Abstract:
The aim of the project is to model, synthesize, characterize and exploit the potential of nanostructure complexes in active transport of the chemical and biological compounds at cell living tissue.
In this respect, the first part will be a comprehensive study, including molecular modeling and drug design, on the nanostructure-dendrimer complexes in order to obtain stable nanostructure, used as drug carriers. The second part of the project refers to the synthesis and physico-chemical characterization of the most appropriate nanostructures as well as toxicity testing and their ability to penetrate the cell wall.
The study tries to find the best dimensions of dendrimers and the coupling methods between dendrimers and nanostructures in view to obtain stable and low toxicity nanostructures.
Results of the project will include design, synthesis methods and physico-chemical and biological characteristics of novel nanostructure-dendrimer complexes.
The major benefit will be the finding of new nanostructures useful in drug delivery ti the biological target.

Abstract:
The goal of the project is to obtain composite nanoarchitectures based on TiO2 and WO3 with Au or Pt nanoparticles controllably deposited on their surface. The composites will be obtained by three different methods (sol-gel, impregnation, zeta-potential driven association) in order to achieve different contact levels between the two oxides. Thus, the contact between TiO2 and WO3 can be explored, and several questions related to the in-deep understanding of the composite photoactive materials particularities (such as the nature, structure or role of the contact surface) will be answered. Metal nanoparticles will be selectively deposited, by two different methods, namely photodeposition and chemical reduction, on one of the oxide’s surface (TiO2 or WO3) pursuing the changes of the composite’s properties. The obtained catalysts will be characterized in all aspects (especially the nanoparticles interface) using conventional and modern techniques. Photocatalytic and H2 production experiments will be carried out to assess the applicability of these nanocatalysts in environmental depollution and future H2 generation.

Abstract:
THE STRONG POINT OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IS THE NANOMANIPULATION: THE ABILITY TO HANDLE AND EXPLORE THE NANOSCALE OBJECTS. ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY (AFM) IS A POWERFUL IMAGING TECHNIQUE THAT CAN VISUALIZE SINGLE MOLECULES BOTH IN AIR AND SOLUTION. USING THE AFM TIP AS AN END-EFFECTOR, AN ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE CAN BE MODIFIED INTO A NANOROBOT. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF OUR RESEARCH PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AN AUTOMATED AFM NANOMANIPULATION SYSTEM WITH VIRTUAL REALITY INTERFACE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE OPERATOR WITH REAL-TIME FORCE FEEDBACK AND REAL-TIME VISUAL DISPLAY DURING HANDLING. THIS AFM-BASED NANOROBOTIC SYSTEM WILL ENABLE US TO SIMULTANEOUSLY CONDUCT IN SITU IMAGING, SENSING, AND NANOMANIPULATION, AND WILL OPEN A PROMISING WAY TO INDIVIDUALLY STUDY THE DIFFERENT LIVE CELLS AND THE STRUCTURE-FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS OF SOME BIOMOLECULES: DNA, PROTEINS, GLYCOPROTEINS. THE RELIABLE AND PRECISE NANOMANIPULATIONS WILL RENDER POSSIBLE THE SINGLE RECEPTOR RECOGNITION AND MONITORING THE RECEPTOR BEHAVIOR ON LIVING CELL SURFACE, AND THE DIRECT INVESTIGATIONS OF THE LIGAND-RECEPTOR INTERACTIONS BOTH IN VIVO AND IN VITRO. OUR NANOMANIPULATION SYSTEM WILL BE ALSO USED FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION AND ASSEMBLY OF NANOSTRUCTURES: FUNCTIONALIZED SILICATE MICROSPHERES AND GOLD NANOPARTICLES. IN THIS PROJECT A SERIES OF BOTTOM-UP AND TOP-DOWN NANOSTRUCTURATION METHODS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED TO ALLOW THE CONTROL OVER SIZE, SHAPE AND GEOMETRY OF NANOPARTICLES. THREE-DIMENSIONAL NANOPARTICLE ARRAYS WILL REPRESENT THE FOUNDATION OF FUTURE OPTICAL AND ELECTRONIC MATERIALS. A PROMISING WAY TO ASSEMBLE THEM IS THROUGH THE TRANSIENT PAIRINGS OF COMPLEMENTARY DNA STRANDS. DNA MEDIATED CRYSTALLIZATION APPROACH WILL FACILITATE BOTH THE CREATION OF NEW CLASSES OF ORDERED MULTICOMPONENT METAMATERIALS AND THE EXPLORATION OF THE PHASE BEHAVIOR OF HYBRID SYSTEMS WITH ADDRESSABLE INTERACTIONS. IN THE SAME TIME, THE MESOSCOPIC SCALE MODELING AND COMPUTER SIMULATIONS OF AFM-BASED NANOMANIPULATIONS WILL BE DONE.
