For achieving the objectives:
goal 3
goal 16
goal 17
Recipient country: Egypt

Period: 2016 - 2018

Description

ENEA is coordinator of the project funded by NATO SPS and implemented with funds by MAECI under the initiative EU CBNR Risk Mitigation-Centre of Excellence, aimed at validating a novel tool for early detection of radiation exposure. The absorbed radiation dose is rapidly detected using biomarkers that can measure genetic damage, oxidative stress and inflammation.

ENEA Activities:

Development of methods, biomarkers validation on patients, setting up of lab facilities in Egypt and training of the Egyptian researchers, e-training.
