Welcome to NanoBright !

NanoBRIGHT is a research project funded from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 828972 

NanoBRIGHT aims at bringing nanophotonics into the brain, with the long-term vision of developing novel cutting-edge optical approaches to study and treat pathological conditions of the brain without using genetically-encoded proteins.

This vision is targeted by four research institute distribute in Europe, in Italy, Spain and France:

  • The Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (Italy)
  • The Instituto Cajal at Agencia Estatal Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Spain)
  • The Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas (Spain)
  • The Centre national de la recherche scientifique (France)
