Project description
Bridging continents and integrating technologies create an incubator for innovation
Some of the biggest developments in the realm of the very small are emerging from the fields of nanotechnology, photonics and biotechnology. Their integration opens the door to revolutionary applications in fields including medicine, food safety and environmental monitoring where single-molecule sensitivity could enable step changes in our ability to detect, measure and control interactions. The EU-funded IPN-Bio project brings together a consortium of 13 world-class academic organisations and private companies in Europe, Latin America, the United States and China to train 36 researchers in integrated photonic-nanotechnologies for bioapplications. The combination of industrial and academic expertise will foster translation of cutting-edge research to real-world applications.
Objective
IPN-Bio (Integrated Photonic-Nano Technologies for Bio-applications) aims to foster and develop long-term international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral collaboration between Europe, USA, Latin America and China. IPN-Bio consortium consists of 13 world-leading organisations from eight countries (4 EU universities, 3 EU companies, 6 TC Partner organisations) working at the frontier of the field with the complementary expertise in the multidiscipline of Photonics, Nanotechnology and Biotechnology. IPN-Bio will implement strategies of excellence science through a total of 218 person-month of structured international and inter-sectoral staff exchanges involving 36 individual researchers. The R&I staff exchanges and network activities will provide an excellent platform for the exchanged researchers to share the knowledge and ideas, transfer the skills and boost career opportunities.
The project’s objectives and challenges present a balanced mix between industrial application focused knowledge transfer and development and more far-looking studies for potentially ground-breaking applications by exploiting new emerging opportunities with the integration of photonics technology and advanced nanomaterials for the applications in health care, biomedical diagnosis, food safety and environmental monitoring. The IPN-Bio network will forge strong collaborative relationships between participating organisations, push Europe at the forefront of global biophotonics research community, and strengthen Europe’s human capital, competitiveness and economy growth.
