OHAMR Call for proposals 2026

General Information

• Type: Partner looking for project
• Organisation: Eindhoven university of Technology
• Country: Netherlands (NL)
• Career stage: Other.

Research area

• Scientific area(s) of the call:
  1. Topic 1: Identify and develop new combination treatments using existing or innovative antimicrobials or antimicrobial with adjunctive treatments to extend drug efficacy and combat resistance.
• One Health Setting:

  H - Human Health

• Keywords:

  Plasma; hydrogel; plasma-activated hydrogel;

• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  We are developing novel plasma-activated hydrogels for regenerative and antimicrobial applications. This project focuses on the development of plasma-activated hydrogels that incorporate reactive species generated by cold plasma into biocompatible hydrogel matrices. By controlling plasma parameters and gel chemistry, we aim to achieve tunable antimicrobial and regenerative effects, particularly for wound healing and tissue repair.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  We are eager to join a multidisciplinary consortium to further develop and validate our novel plasma-activated hydrogel technology in the pre-clinical phase. The project aims to investigate antimicrobial efficacy, regenerative potential, and biocompatibility using relevant in vitro and ex vivo models. By combining plasma science, biomaterials engineering, and biological evaluation, we seek to generate robust pre-clinical data supporting safety, mechanism of action, and therapeutic relevance. The ultimate goal is to de-risk the technology and prepare it for subsequent clinical translation and industrial scale-up
