DISCOVER

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 FET Open programme under grant agreement No 801305.

PROJECT

Temperature measurements are crucial in countless technological developments, accounting for 80% of the sensor market throughout the world. The pitfalls of temperature readouts at the biomedical battleground are mostly represented by the currently achievable spatial resolution. To address key issues, such as intracellular temperature fluctuations and in vivo thermal transients, a technique able to go clearly below 1 μm is highly and urgently needed, as the traditional contact-based sensors and near infrared thermometers are not suitable for measurements at that tight spatial range. To overcome these limitations requires a non-contact thermometry approach granted with sub-micrometer resolution, also providing real-time high relative thermal sensitivity values.

 

The goal of NanoTBTech is to develop a 2-D thermal bioimaging technology featuring sub-microscale resolution, based on nanothermometers and heater-thermometer nanostructures. We will design, synthetize, and bio-functionalize nontoxic luminescent nanostructures, operating essentially beyond 1000 nm, for in vivo nanothermometry and nanoheating.

Furthermore, to monitor the temperature-dependent nanostructures’ luminescence we will develop a novel imaging system. The effective delivery of that major advance in 2-D thermal bioimaging will be implemented through two impactful biomedical showcases: highly spatially-modulated intracellular magnetic/optical hyperthermia and in vivo detection and tracking of cancer. In the long-term, we foresee our technology having a broad impact on non-invasive clinical imaging and theranostics. For instance, the accurate measurement of temperature gradients´ sources will be an invaluable tool for real-time control of thermal therapies, thus making them harmless for the patient.

Multiple conceptual breakthroughs can be further envisaged from the proposed 2D-thermal imaging system, credibly spreading its impact towards non-biomedical technological areas.

OBJECTIVES

1. Self-monitored nanothermometers and heater-thermometer nanostructures

Design and fabrication of NIR emitting NPs and heater-thermometer nanostructures with Sr>1%K−1, resolution <0.1 K and efficiency of light-(or magnetic field) to-heat conversion>50% (figures of merit well above the currently achieved values).

 

2. Modelling the predesigned structures

Understanding the parameters of the nanothermometers and heater-thermometer nanostructures for objectives 3-5, e.g., brightness, Sr, heating conversion efficiency, and heat producing/diffusion mechanisms.

 

3. Biofunctionalization and toxicity assessment

Optimization and in vitro/in vivo incorporation  of luminescent, nontoxic, long-term biodegradable, long-circulating, tumour-targeted, heating/sensing nanoplatforms  linked to specific therapeutic antibodies.

 

4. Magneto-thermal 2D luminescent thermometry for local hyperthermia

Developing a new technology for in vitro and in vivo  simultaneous luminescent 2D thermal imaging and optical microscopy imaging for localized controlled hyperthermia in cancer cells and tumour microenvironment.

 

5. Time-resolved in vivo thermal images in BW-II and BW-III for tumour detection and dynamical monitoring

Explore in vivo time-gated and 2D magnetic- or optical-gated thermal transient thermometry.

WORK PACKAGES

Since the materials selection criteria relay on numerous factors (size and toxicity of the NPs, its brightness and q values, the light- and magnetic field-to-heat conversion efficiency, etc.) the feedback between the WPs dealing with 2D thermal imaging applications (WP5, 6) will be provided by the materials (WP1), characterisation (WP2), modelling (WP3) and functionalization (WP4) WPs to select the best candidate materials for in vitro and in vivo studies. Moreover, the frequency and content of the intra- and inter-WPs coordination/monitoring meetings between consortium members will be varied following the “flexible response” principle throughout the development of the project (monitored by WP7 - Management).
