R&D Projects
LinkoCare is actively involved in Research and Development internally as well as in collaboration with European and International collaborators. The externally funded international projects in which LinkoCare plays a key role are listed below:
Project 1: ARREST BLINDNESS
Title: Advanced Regenerative and REStorative Therapies to combat corneal BLINDNESS
Call identifier: H2020-PHC-2015-two-stage (Societal challenge, Health, Demographic change and Well-being), 2016-2020
Project No: 667400-1
ARREST BLINDNESS is a consortium of 14 partners across 8 European countries including 5 innovative companies and 9 leading academic centers with expertise in the fields of corneal regeneration in Europe. The main aim of the project is to develop new methods and strategies to repair damaged and non-functioning corneas.

Project 2: CIONA NANOCELLULOSE (Ciona Cornea)
Title: Ciona nanocellulose for large volume and high value applications
Call identifier: BIOTEK2021, Norwegian Research Council, 2015-2017
CIONA NANOCELLULOSE is a consortium of 10 partners from 3 different countries of Norway, Sweden, and China including 5 innovative companies and 5 leading academic centers with expertise in the fields of nanocellulose. One of the main goals of the project is to optimize the use of an alternative marine source of nanocellulose and cellulose, the tunicate, Ciona, towards developing a cost-effective Artificial Cornea.
