Nano Impacts for Biomedical and Environmental Analysis

Objective

NIBEA will turn the developments and understanding from NANOIMPACTS into real world analytical practice such that reliable analytical protocols are established, validated and demonstrated especially in the context of real world media (environmental, industrial, medical) providing an entirely new approach to nanoparticle analysis based on electrochemical measurements.
NIBEA will provide a step change in comparison with the present state of the art since particles of much smaller size and of greater diversity (including bacteria, viruses) deriving from authentic media with zero or minimal pre-treatment will be detected in the solution phase.
NIBEA will develop prototype instrumentation suitable for demonstration purposes covering both batch and on-line nanoparticle analyses. It will also establish and validate against independent methods methodology for the analysis (identity, size, concentration, state of aggregation/agglomeration) of (a) silver nanoparticles in water and waste systems and (b) viruses and bacteria of biomedical importance
NIBEA will have major societal impact in furthering studies of toxicology, facilitating environmental, medical and at point-of-discharge analysis, as well as facilitating the application of expected forthcoming legislation on nanoparticles. Subsequently we aim to commercialise the IP building on the track record of the Compton Group (sensing of pH, gases, garlic, chilli heat, etc) and with the assistance of Oxford Innovation Ltd (http://www.oxin.co.uk/(opens in new window)) specialists in university KT.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

ERC-POC - Proof of Concept Grant

THE CHANCELLOR, MASTERS AND SCHOLARS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
