Project: ANR ModerniT
Physiological Microsystems with on-chip and off-line characterization of nano-pollutants evolution in biofluids and impacts on endoThelium and hemostasis
The ModerniT project is a 42 month ANR funded project coordinated by the FEMTO-ST Institute, Besançon with partners at the Institut de Science des Matériaux de Mulhouse (IS2M), and the University Hospital (CHU) of Dijon. This project aims to characterize the complex interactions between airborne nanopollutants, their protein-corona, the circulatory system, and haemostasis. The design and fabrication of multiple microfluidic and microphysiological systems will allow for a detailed characterization of these components and their interactions.
Duration: 42 months (January 2025 – December 2028)
Funding: Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR-24-CE19-2093) - 488000€

November 2025
Sieka Buis, Phd student working on the ModerniT project, has bagged the third poster prize at the annual Mimento day at the FEMTO-ST Institute !
March 2025
The kick-off meeting of the ANR project ModerniT was held on the 27th March 2025 and welcomed all the partners by visoconference. The consortium members presented the plan for the coming years with great enthusiasm and the project is off to a great start!
February 2025
We are happy to welcome Sieka BUIS to the project, she will use her PhD to focus on developing the microphysiological systems to charaterize the protein corona on nanopollutants and its effect on the endothelium and primary haemostasis. Welcome Sieka!
