IREA participates in numerous national and international research projects as evidenced, among other things, by the relevance of external fundings. Currently, IREA is present, even with co-ordinating role, in 17 international projects, 14 of which are funded by the European Union under the Seventh Framework Programme.

At a national level IREA coordinates research activities of 4 projects and participates in several projects funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR), by the Ministry of Economic Development (MISE), by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), by the Region of Campania and the Region of Lombardy. It should be remembered, also, the provision of highly qualified institutional services as that carried out for the Italian Department of Civil Protection Department of which IREA is Centre of Competence for the satellite monitoring of ground deformation.

IREA is also involved in industrial research projects funded or carried out in collaboration with companies of national relevance. It coordinates a project funded by ENI, with West Systems Srl it is developing a project funded by MISE, with Vitrociset SPA participates in a project funded by MIUR, with the South SPA Equipment Industry (INARME) is in progress a project funded by the Region of Campania. Finally, it has just started a project with the CGS SpA General Company for Space and one with the Company Pierreci Codess.

One of the greatest risks in operations involving an organ transplant is rejection. To ensure that the immune system accept the new organ, immunosuppressive drugs must be administered in order to avoid crises of graft rejection through inhibition of the immune system's response. However, these drugs lower the whole organism  immune system and their excessive administering can have serious side effects. For this reason it is essential to determine the correct dosage of immunosuppressants for each transplant patient.

The project 'Nanodem', which involves numerous foreign institutions, high-tech industries and two CNR structures, IFAC (Institute of Applied Physics) and IREA, aims to create a device that can measure the concentration of immunosuppressive drugs in transplanted patient  blood automatically and with high frequency. The protocol in use today is based on drawing blood in defined time intervals, usually every hour, and sending the sample to central laboratories. The possibility to perform a more frequent detection, without drawing blood and using an instrumentation next to the bed of the patient, can provide an important aid to identification of the correct therapy.

The apparatus involves the use of an intravascular catheter for microdialysis able to extract continuously from the blood of the transplanted a sample on which the immunosuppressants of interest are measured on-line. Heart of the device is an advanced miniaturized biochip that, using the latest developments in the field of nanotechnology, will convert the change in the concentration of the substances to be analyzed in precise detectable optical signals that will allow to make a multiple determination of the different immunosuppressants.

The course will be held in Erice (Sicily, Italy) at the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture (President: prof. Antonio Zichichi). Here a Permanent School of Bioelectromagnetics was set up in 2003 (Director: prof. Ferdinando Bersani) with the aim of dealing with the various aspects of interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological systems. 

The course directors are Frank S Prato (Lawson Health Research Inst., London, Ont., Canada) and Jukka Juutilainen (Department of Environmental Science, University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio).

As part of the VI course Maria Rosaria Scarfì, researcher at IREA, will give a lecture entitled "In vitro studies on static magnetic fields".
