Smartphone analyzers for on-site testing of food quality and safety (FoodSmartphone)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Current food quality and safety testing is, to a large extent, an inefficient, expensive and ineffective process, unable to assure food safety for all consumers and unable to prevent major food fraud incidents. A paradigm shift in quality and safety testing is urgently required in order to free resources for an intensified combat against fraud in the food chain. As an enabling technology solution, ...

Circulating Tumor Cells TheRapeutic APheresis: a novel biotechnology enabling personalized therapy for all cancer patients (CTCtrap)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"Chemotherapy is slowly being supplemented by a new generation of drugs that recognize specific targets in or on cancer cells and has proven to be more effective with markedly fewer side effects. During the course of the disease alternative oncogenic signaling pathways take over inevitably leading to drug resistance. As a consequence renewed tumor analysis is required to redefine the optimal treat ...

Semiconducting Nanowire Platform for Autonomous Sensors (SiNAPS)

Start date: Aug 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

The aim of the SiNAPS project is to develop standalone "dust"-sized chemical sensing platforms that harvest energy from ambient electromagnetic radiation (light) and will enable miniaturisation below the current mm^3 barrier. Current solutions in nanoelectronics are enabled by new materials at the nanoscale. It is proposed to use high-density semiconductor nanowire arrays, such as Si and Ge, as ef ...

Biosensors and Sensors for the industrial biosynthesis process of widely used commercial antioxidants: nutraceuticals as additives for food and aquaculture promoting public health and safety (SENSBIOSYN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"The purpose of this 2-years project is to develop sensors and biosensors for on-line monitoring growth parameters of industrial bioprocesses for the production of algal biomass and antioxidant compounds such as Xanthophylls. As a model for the design and in-field testing, the following industrial process and culture system have been selected: the natural production of Astaxanthin from the green m ...
