H2020 project DIANA, funded in 2019 by the Proof-of Concept call of the ERC – European Research Council, comes to an end. The research has led to the development of an innovative technological device, for industrial use, aimed at the study of new drugs for the treatment of brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease.

The Chip4DBrain platform developed by DIANA is based on a state-of-the-art technology known as” organ-on-a-chip “that allows you to reproduce complex organ functions on systems the size of a microscope slide.

DIANA brought together universities and companies in a consortium between the Politecnico di Milano and the innovative SME Neuro-Zone srl. The project was enhanced by the involvement of the Istituto Mario Negri IRCCS in Milan.
