Research founding
The Ri.MED Foundation supports the realization of its scientific activity through funding opportunities offered by public and private bodies, regional, national and international institutions. Accessing research funds is a strategic activity for the Foundation.
For this reason, a Grants Office was established to select financial programs supporting biomedical research, specialized training and international cooperation, submitting proposals (also in collaboration with other bodies) and managing relationships with administrations managing financing programs, as well as coordinating and supervising the approved projects.

Benign and malignant esophageal stricture, an innovative approach to address an unmet clinical need: a biohybrid polymer – extracellular matrix, drug-eluting, esophageal prosthesis able to provide sustained mechanical support, actively prevent re-stenosis and induce constructive tissue remodeling
Progetto in Corso
Italian Ministry of Health - National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) - Mission 6 - Component 2 - Investment 2.1. Strengthening and enhancing biomedical research in the NHS_CALL 2023.
Objective: validating a medical device that can address clinical deficiencies in a non-pathological model, allowing for the assessment of the local mechanical, immunological, and histological effects of the esophageal graft under study.

SMART4SCLERO – Smart Injectable Scaffolds for Sclerostin Based Bone Resorption Treatment
Progetto in Corso
Ministry of University and Research – PRIN Call 2022 (Progetti di Ricerca di Rilevante Interesse Nazionale/ Research Projects of Relevant National Interest) on behalf of the project Coordinator Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Napoli).
Objective: developing an advanced in vitro model of joints’ disorders dependent from bowel-related pathologies. The model will be based either on native than engineered tissues cultured in static, and dynamic conditions. These latter will be fabricated using the support of the bioprinting, as well as other additive manufacturing technologies.

Translating protection of cell-surface receptor LRP1 into potential disease-modifying therapies for osteoarthritis
Progetto in Corso
Versus Arthritis - Bridging fellowship 2023, on behalf of the project Coordinator University of Liverpool (United Kingdom).
Objective: using high-resolution proteomics to identify binding partners of the low-density-liporptoein receptor related protein 1 (LRP-1) in osteoarthritic cartilage. In brief, proteins will be purified from osteoarthritic and normal cartilage, and then applied to an agarose resin coupled with LRP-1 previously purified from placenta. Proteins binding to LRP-1 will be eluted, digested by FASP and analysed by LC-MS/MS.
