Objective Recently, the use of smell in different fields has been rediscovered due to major advances in odour sensing technology and artificial intelligence. However, current electronic noses, based on electronic sensors, have significant limitations concerning sensitivity, reliability and selectivity, amongst others. These limitations are at the basis of recurrent troubles of this technology to reach essential applications in different areas, such as food safety, diagnosis, security, environment… The present project proposes a new bioelectronic nose based on olfactory receptors in order to mimic the animal nose. For this aim, micro/nano, bio and information technologies will converge to develop an integrated bioelectronic analytical nanoplatform based on olfactory receptors for odour detection. Briefly, the basis of the nanobioplatform will be the olfactory receptors, prepared in the form of nanosomes immobilized onto the nanotransducers (NANO and BIO). An array of smart nanotransducers will acquire and process electronically the detected odour (NANO and INFORMATION). Such an easy-to-use nanobioplatform, with user-friendly interface and odorant identification algorithm, will detect and discriminate the odorants (NANO and INFORMATION). The scientific and technological challenges of the BOND project can only be solved by integrating a multidisciplinary consortium at European level with expertise in areas such as biotechnology, surface chemistry, nanofabrication, electronics and theoretical modelling. The partners involved in the BOND project are experienced partners used to work in large consortia with distributed laboratories all over the European Union and offer competences and resources to build a complementary partnership for the successful implementation of the nanobioplatform. Six of the eight partners have already successfully worked together in the European SPOT-NOSED project to produce a proof of concept of a bioelectronic sensor based on olfactory receptors Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencesartificial intelligenceengineering and technologyother engineering and technologiesfood technologyfood safetyengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringsensors Programme(s) FP7-NMP - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies Topic(s) NMP-2008-1.1-1 - Converging sciences and technologies (nano, bio, info and/or cogni) Call for proposal FP7-NMP-2008-SMALL-2 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinator UNIVERSITAT DE BARCELONA Address Gran via de les corts catalanes 585 08007 Barcelona Spain See on map Region Este Cataluña Barcelona Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (7) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all INSTITUT NATIONAL DE RECHERCHE POUR L'AGRICULTURE, L'ALIMENTATION ET L'ENVIRONNEMENT France EU contribution € 410 017,00 Address 147 rue de l'universite 75007 Paris See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Paris Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data UNIVERSITE LYON 1 CLAUDE BERNARD France EU contribution € 226 020,00 Address Boulevard du 11 novembre 1918 num43 69622 Villeurbanne cedex See on map Region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Rhône-Alpes Rhône Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data AGENCIA ESTATAL CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTIFICAS Spain EU contribution € 245 661,00 Address Calle serrano 117 28006 Madrid See on map Region Comunidad de Madrid Comunidad de Madrid Madrid Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data UNIVERSITA DEL SALENTO Italy EU contribution € 138 439,00 Address Piazza tancredi 7 73100 Lecce See on map Region Sud Puglia Lecce Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data POLITECNICO DI MILANO Italy EU contribution € 212 852,00 Address Piazza leonardo da vinci 32 20133 Milano See on map Region Nord-Ovest Lombardia Milano Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CORK - NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND, CORK Ireland EU contribution € 407 955,00 Address Western road T12 YN60 Cork See on map Region Ireland Southern South-East Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data BIO-LOGIC SCIENCE INSTRUMENTS LTD United Kingdom EU contribution € 465 011,00 Address Pinewood court larkwood way tytherington business SK10 2XR Macclesfield cheshire See on map Region North West (England) Cheshire Cheshire East Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data
