Astacus

Biopolymer materials with chemically and genetically programmed selectivity to heavy metals for new generation ultra-sensitive biosensors in the competition: Strategic research and development program "Modern material technologies" - TECHMATSTRATEG III.

Project goal: The project concerns research and development and pre-implementation works, the result of which will be the creation of an ultra-sensitive and mobile device allowing for the simultaneous and fast detection of at least 8 different heavy metals in water with the use of electrochemical and optical measurements. The device in question will be able to detect the presence of contaminants at the point of water intake intended for human consumption in accordance with the standards of permissible concentrations of heavy metals recommended, among others, by WHO and the Ministry of Health.

The project manager is dr hab. Eng. Marcin Olszewski from the Department of Biotechnology of Medicinal Agents and Cosmetics. The total value of the project is PLN 18,458,913.97. The project has been implemented since January 1, 2021 in the consortium of Biotechnology and Molecular Medicine, Łukasiewicz Research Network - Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics and Pro Science Sp. z o.o. The project leader is the Warsaw University of Technology.

iCLARE

Intelligent remediation system for removal of harmful contaminants in water using modified reticulated vitreous carbon foams in the competition: Program "Applied Research" under the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021 / POLNOR 2019 Path / area: Digital and industry.

Project goal: The main goal of this project is to design and create an electrochemical water treatment system with implemented artificial intelligence procedures to identify and understand the most effective operating parameters to neutralize the mixture of pollutants. This highly efficient electrochemical reactor will be built based on an innovative type of electrode material. The proposed approach uses reticulated glassy carbon (RVC) foams embedded with modified metal oxides (MMOs) and thin diamond layers.

Aim of the project: The aim of the project is to create a genetic test enabling quick and cheap obtaining of a genetic profile useful for the purposes of forensics.

ForenSNP

Gynocheck

Project goal: development and implementation on the market of a PoC (Point of Care) device for the rapid identification of Streptococcus agalactiae, Gardnerella vaginalis, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum. The main advantage of the developed test will be quick and simple species identification of bacteria from a vaginal swab. The result will be available after several to several dozen minutes during a medical visit, without the need to send samples for laboratory tests. The test will be dedicated to gynecological patients, mainly pregnant women.

Shrimp Health Alert

Shrimp Health Alert - a quick and precise Point of Care test for the detection of pathogens on shrimp farms under Measure 1.1 of the Smart Growth Operational Program 2014-2020, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund; Priority I: Support for R&D by enterprises; Measure: 1.1 R&D projects of enterprises; Sub-measure 1.1.1: Industrial research and development works carried out by enterprises

Aim of the project: to develop a diagnostic test for the detection of viruses and bacteria on shrimp farms. The test is intended to be easy to use, fast, and relatively inexpensive, which will allow it to be disseminated among breeders, reduce material losses caused by epidemics and use drugs only when necessary.

QUNNA

"Nanosensory and imaging with the use of quantum effects - glass and diamond synergy for applications in next-generation biodiagnostics", the TEAM-NET program of the Foundation for Polish Science, financed by the European Regional Development Fund under the Intelligent Development Operational Program 2014-2020 (OP IR ), Axis IV: Increasing the scientific and research potential, Measure 4.4: Increasing the human potential in the R&D sector

Project goal:> The aim of the project is to apply quantum physics phenomena to implement a technology based on the use of nanodiamonds to develop innovative sensors for optical and magnetic research, electronics and medical diagnostics.

Microbiologically active nanocomposite anodic coatings on aluminum alloys

Microbiologically active nanocomposite anode coatings on aluminum alloys, under Measure 1.2 of the Operational Program of the Śląskie Voivodeship for 2014-2020 co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund; I: Modern economy; Action 1.2: Research, development and innovation in enterprises.

Aim of the project: development of a technology for the production of microbiologically active anodic coatings. The aim of the project will be achieved by determining the parameters of electrodeposition processes of copper, gold and silver particles inside a nanoporous matrix produced anodically on the surface of aluminum details and determining the dependence of the antibacterial and antifungal properties of these coatings on the method of conducting the process.

BladderDx

Rapid and non-invasive test for the early diagnosis of bladder cancer under Measure 4.1. Intelligent Development Operational Program 2014-2020, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund; IV: Increasing the scientific and research potential; Action 4.1: Research and development work; Sub-measure 4.1.2: Regional scientific and research agendas

Aim of the project: to improve the diagnosis of bladder tumors by introducing a non-invasive and specific test. The aim of the project is to conduct an effective diagnostic method that allows to monitor the course of treatment in people after surgery, and at a later stage, a method that allows for early cancer detection. The principle of operation of the test will be based on the detection of the presence of proteasome markers in the urine, the presence of which may be the result of a bladder tumor.
