PHOTOTHERAPORT

💡 Light to treat neurological diseases & pain? It's near! Luisa Camerin at @IBEC explains how the project 🔬#PHOTOTHERAPORT uses photo-switchable drugs 💊activated by light for precise treatment. Learn more: phototheraport.org #Neurology #PainManagement #LightTherapy

📢💡 What if we could treat neuropathic pain & epilepsy with light? In #PHOTOTHERAPORT, we’re developing light-emitting implants & light-controlled drugs for precise, side-effect-free treatments! 🚀 Funded by EU | Learn more: phototheraport.org

👉Last week #PHOTOTHERAPORT team met at @IBECBarcelona for our 18-month project meeting. 2 days of fruitful discussions to define next steps in our #photopharmacology strategy: light-emitting implants + photo-controlled drugs to treat #neuropathicpain & #epilepsy. 💡🧠@EUeic

🧠 💡 @PHOTOTHERAPORT researchers from @IBECBarcelona and @iibbcsic were at #FestaDeLaCiència! About 200 assistants explored how light-emitting implants & photo-controlled drugs can precisely transform pain & epilepsy treatment. How cool is that? #ScienceFestival  #Neuroscience

💡🧠Tomorrow is the Spanish Epilepsy Day! We want to highlight how #PHOTOTHERAPORT #EUfunded is pioneering #photopharmacology to develop light-controlled therapies to target #Epilepsy with precision, aiming for more effective and safer treatments #epilepsia #DíaNacionalEpilepsia

💡🔬 Vine a descobrir com la llum pot millorar la salut! Els projectes #HYLIGHTembryo i @PHOTOTHERAPORT de l’#IBEC t’esperen a la #FestadelaCiència! 📅 1 de juny 📍 Centre Cultural del Born Un taller ple de #fotofarmacologia i ciència inspiradora organitzat per @BCNCiencia

This morning I gave a lecture at polimi on #PhotochromicMaterials — and what better day than the #DayOfLight to dive into light-matter interaction? 🌈✨ Perfect timing to also mention the @phototheraport project #UNESCO #Photonics  #PHOTOTHERAPORT 🔗 phototheraport.org

💡It’s #InternationalDayOfLight! Let’s celebrate with #PHOTOTHERAPORT, an EU project creating smart implants using light to treat pain, epilepsy & more. Precision light-based therapies are here to transform lives. Learn more:🌐phototheraport.org #LightTherapy  #ScienceForAll

👏👏Congratulations to the great talk recently given by Prof. Valērija Groma at the @RSUinfo International Research Conf. on Medical and Health Care Sciences: “Appearance and distribution of voltage-gated sodium channels in excitable and non-excitable cells of the human brain”.

This year, #PHOTOTHERAPORT 🔬 participated in #ShadowDay in Latvia. Shapla, a Ph.D. student at LIOS, shadowed Dimitrijs Punte and introduced him to the fundamentals of structural biology, crystallography, and PET degradation. A fantastic opportunity to explore new professions!🤝

A dynamic group of experts in neuroscience, bioengineering, and chemistry from 8 leading Research Institutions is working to create the next wave of light-driven therapies. 🔬✨ #PrecisionMedicine 💉 #Neuroscience 🧠

Who is behind #PHOTOTHERAPORT?🔬✨ A cutting-edge multidisciplinary team of neuroscientists, bioengineers, and chemists working to develop the next generation of light-driven therapies for the nervous system. Check next post to know them 👇 #photopharmacology 💊💡🧠#eicPathfinder

🔬💡 Last week #PHOTOTHERAPORT researchers were at #EspaiCiència from the @saloensenyament! 70+ students explored how the combination of light-emitting implants and photocontrolled drugs can revolutionize the treatment of pain & epilepsy @fundaciorecerca #photopharmacology #IBEC

🎙️ #PHOTOTHERAPORT coordinator and #IBEC researcher Pau Gorostiza shared his experience as a grant recipient at an EIC Pathfinder Open workshop💡🚀 His participation provided insights on the writing process and key strategies to prepare successful proposals for the 2025 call🙌

What does #PHOTOTHERAPORT proposes? 💡 PhotoTheraPorts: Tiny implants that emit visible light inside the body. 💊Photoswitchable drugs: Activated only by specific wavelengths for targeted action. This means precise neuromodulation with reduced systemic side effects.

🧠 For #BrainAwarenessWeek we’re excited to present the #PHOTOTHERAPORT EU project! 🇪🇺 8 leading research institutions in Europe are collaborating to develop light-controlled drugs that modulate neuronal activity locally & on-demand without systemic side effects! 💡🔬
