In the final bootcamp of the ANGIE Kick-start Programme, all participants were able to present their idea for a new targeted drug delivery therapy to the other participants, the consortium partners and selected invitees. ANGIE kick-start teams received individual feedback and tailored advice to define the technical and clinical feasibility of their projects. MICROTAP & LRB bot projects will be invited to participate in the ANGIE Acceleration Programme that runs in 2023-2024 and will provide further support.

The 2nd episode of The ANGIE Podcast is out!!! Tune in to listen a fascinating conversation between Dr Maria Vliora and our guest expert Prof Maria Blanco-Prieto on how nanomedicine can change medical treatment.

In the frame of the ANGIE Kick-start Programme our project was presented at “The hospital of the future – advances in healthcare robotics” event on Wednesday, February 8th, organized by ETH Zurich. The ANGIE Kick-start teams had the chance to get insights from the several projects and companies about future technologies and the possible outcome of these developments. The event was open for experts from hospitals, the healthcare sector, industry and academia as well as other interested parties. We are grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to further collaborations.

The first episode of the ANGIE project is now live! Tune in on our YouTube channel where, along with Fabian Landers, we introduce our project and have a very interesting conversation on Targeted Drug Delivery and how it is approached within our project.

In the first workshop, Benoit helped the ANGIE kick-start participants to understand the current clinical journey for the health condition or disease they chose to focus on. This provided them with fresh insights into the needs of patients and clinicians and helped them shape the opportunity for a new targeted drug delivery based therapy.

We want to inspire and enable ambitious students, inspiring researchers, experienced professionals and talented entrepreneurs to start addressing important medical challenges today while our technology is still under development. We created the ANGIE kick-start to support participants to develop their own idea for a targeted drug delivery intervention for treatment of a certain health condition. In October 20, 2022 we held an info webinar on the ANGIE kick-start Programme. Participants learned about the ANGIE project and its approach to targeted drug delivery. Moreover, we explained what the kick-start programme is and how we can support them to get started with the technology platform.

The Japanese-European Workshop on Moonshot program goal 3 “Co-evolving AI and Robots towards 2050” took place in Switzerland from September 21 to 23, 2022. A delegation from Japan consisting of 25 researchers attended the event in order to seek potential collaboration partners from Europe. Salvador and Fabian had some insightful talks and discussions about ongoing research and the 50 years ahead with some of the founders and current leaders of the field.
