Project description
Boosting food safety and cutting-edge diagnostics
Food safety remains a critical concern as contaminants and pathogens can jeopardise public health throughout the farm-to-fork chain. Current diagnostic methods lack immediacy and user-friendliness. Rapid and accurate point-of-care tests are essential to ensure safety and traceability in food production. However, many institutions struggle to develop these innovations effectively due to limited expertise and resources. With this in mind, the EU-funded Know4Nano project will enhance the Biosense Institute's research capabilities in bionanotechnology. Collaborating with top European institutions, the project will transfer cutting-edge knowledge and skills to the institute. This initiative focuses on developing innovative, user-friendly diagnostic tests for food safety, boosting research excellence and commercial potential.
Objective
The Know4Nano project aims to unlock synergetic research and innovation potential between EU-partner institutions and Biosense Institute (BIOS) to enhance the research and management capacity of BIOS staff in the field of bionanotechnology (BnT), project management and technology transfer to perform research activities toward the development of innovative and user-friendly personalized point-of-care diagnostic tests for food safety applications along the farm-to-fork food chain and unlock existing research potential and applicability of research results. Good practice, innovation, and scientific excellence from the leading European research institutions in the field of BnT:
Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Barcelona, Spain, with expertise in nanotechnology and nanoscience-based biosensors, and microfluidics,
National Research Council, Rome, Italy, an expert in molecular biology, optical biosensors, biosensors testing and validation, and food safety,
University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague, Czech Republic, an expert in materials science, materials synthesis, functionalization, and characterization of materials,
will be transferred to BIOS by establishing a knowledge transfer platform based on carefully designed mobilities, trainings and novel approaches in mutual collaboration to increase research excellence and innovation potential for all partners in bio-nanotechnology, with a principal focus on BIOS. Know4Nano will enable researchers from BIOS to acquire essential expertise, competencies, and skills in the field of nanomaterials, biosensors, microfluidics, and food safety, and enhance BIOS research management capacities and administrative skills for further commercialization, exploitation, and dissemination of results with the goal to increase its attractiveness in the region and EU as a potential collaboration in future project capable to generate new breakthrough results and marker-ready products.
