A highly integrated and sensitive PORous SIlicon based lab on a chip for multiple quantitaTIVE monitoring of Food allergies at point of care (Positive)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
By integrating and interfacing multiple core technologies and related materials from fluidics and photonics technology to porous silicon (porSi) and polymers, Positive will target the implementation of a microsystem tailored to a specific application with a key societal and economic need. The very high surface to volume ratio of porSi permits very high surface densities of bound antibody-antigen c ...

Academic-Industrial Training Network on Alpha-Synuclein-related Brain Diseases (NEURASYNC)
Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
"Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. It is characterized pathologically by the accumulation of aggregated conformations of the presynaptic protein alpha-synuclein (ASYN) in cytoplasmic inclusions termed Lewy Bodies (LBs). Furthermore, aberrant aggregated species of ASYN accumulate in various disease states, such as Multiple System Atrophy, Diffuse LB Dise ...

Novel tools for crystallisation of macromolecules (TOPCRYST)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,
...hat goes from cloning a gene to using the structural information for predicting and designing function. TOPCRYST, an academia-industry project, will use Dual Polarimetric Interferometry, pioneered by Farfield Scientific Ltd., to probe crystallisation at its earliest, most crucial stages. This will allow to predict the outcome of crystallisation trials when they are still at their earliest stages a ...

A highly integrated optical sensor for point of care label free identification of pathogenic bacteria strains and their antibiotic resistance (InTopSens)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,
InTopSens is a multidisciplinary project involving the emerging fields of photonics structures, electronics, fluidics and bio-chemistry, to contribute to the development of high value sensor technology. This objective will be addressed through the demonstration of a compact polymer and silicon-based CMOS-compatible photonics sensor system. It integrates two label-free biomolecular recognition phot ...

Functional assays for membrane protein on nanostructured supports (ASMENA)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,
More than 50% of all drug targets are membrane proteins; new research tools to screen function of membrane drug targets are therefore expected to open up new avenues for original drug development. The proposed project addresses the need of the pharmaceutical industry for new technologies for reliable and efficient screening of membrane proteins as drug targets. Most critical current aspects of mem ...
