Project description Core and disruptive photonic technologiesAdvanced photonic antenna tools for biosensing and cellular nanoimaging Show the project objective Hide the project objective Advances in the fields of molecular and cell biology are strongly coupled to the implementation of photonic tools that allow highly-sensitive measurements in living cells at high molecular concentrations and at the nanometre scale. The goal of NANO-VISTA is to exploit novel concepts of photonic antennas to develop a new generation of bionanophotonic tools for ultrasensitive detection, nanoimaging and nanospectroscopy of biomolecules, both in-vitro and in living cells. By taking advantage of the extraordinary field enhancement, directionality and nanofocusing of photonic antennas, our approach will allow single biomolecule detection in ultra-reduced detection volumes, including living cells. The project focuses on three main objectives: a) to pioneer the development of novel photonic antennas for ultrasensitive detection in fluids and simultaneous spatio-temporal superresolution in living cells; b) to develop high-throughput large-scale nanofabrication of photonic antennas fully compatible with life science applications; c) to demonstrate the functionality of the technology for biosensing and transferability into potential market products, and for nanoimaging and nanospectroscopy on living cells. Thus, NANO-VISTA is fully targeted to the development of disruptive photonic technologies fundamental in strategic applications such as medicine and biology. To maximise the chances of success we have chosen for an interdisciplinary, trans-national and multi-institutional partnership (including a SME and a Medical Centre). True European specialists, with long standing expertise in the fields of nanophotonics, photonic antennas, large-scale nanofabrication approaches and nanoimmunologists are concentrated in this proposal strengthening European research cohesion. In the mid-long term we expect that both, cell biologists as well as industrial sectors (biophotonic, microscopy and biotechnology enterprises) will benefit from this new technology Fields of science engineering and technologyenvironmental biotechnologybiosensingnatural sciencesbiological sciencesbiochemistrybiomoleculesnatural sciencesphysical sciencesopticsmicroscopysuper resolution microscopynatural sciencesbiological sciencescell biologyengineering and technologynanotechnologynanophotonics Programme(s) FP7-ICT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Information and communication technologies Topic(s) ICT-2011.3.5 - Core and disruptive photonic technologies Call for proposal FP7-ICT-2011-7 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP - Collaborative project (generic) Coordinator Contact Maria GARCIA PARAJO Prof. Coordinator FUNDACIO INSTITUT DE CIENCIES FOTONIQUES Address Avinguda carl friedrich gauss 3 08860 Castelldefels Spain See on map Region Este Cataluña Barcelona Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Dolors Mateu (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (6) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE FEDERALE DE LAUSANNE Switzerland EU contribution € 536 368,00 Address Batiment ce 3316 station 1 1015 Lausanne See on map Region Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera Région lémanique Vaud Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Juergen Brugger (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data Imagine Optic Spain S.L.
