DIAMANTE exploits plants as bioreactors for the sustainable production of nanoparticles based on modified plant viruses that are used in developing new tools in autoimmune disease diagnosis. Plant viruses are exploited as a scaffold in order to stabilize and display high numbers of functional peptides. Through a fast and environmental-friendly production process DIAMANTE provides innovative nanomaterials employable employable for several applications.
Our Our first product is an innovative kit for Sjogren’s Syndrome (SjS) diagnosis which able enables to identify patients to be identified with a higher specificity and a sensitivity higher that theto current SjS diagnostic tools. Moreover, our kit is patient-friendly because as it needs only requires a blood sample for diagnosis.
Our nanoparticles display up to 1300 peptide copies and allows to improves the diagnostic performance. Using plants, we can reach high yields of nanomaterials without the need of expensive bioreactors and culture media.
