COMPACT BIOPHOTONIC PLATFORM FOR DRUG ALLERGY DIAGNOSIS (COBIOPHAD)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
Drug hypersensitivity to antibiotics, mainly Beta-lactams (BLCs) affects more than 2.5 million European citizens. Moreover, preventable adverse drug reactions are estimated in additional hospitalization costs of 1750-4500 €/patient. Currently, the allergy diagnosis is mainly based on the information given by invasive, single, and risky in vivo assays. In daily practice, few in vitro diagnostic met ...

Development of a novel method for rodent control (PIEDPIPERDA)
Start date: Dec 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016,
The Piedpiper project (funded under the FP7-SME2011scheme) started in December 2011 with its aim being to transform the Pest Control industry. To date it has developed (ahead of schedule) a new transdermal toxin and a new Pest Control Device using an aerosol to deliver the toxin.With the EU ban on warfarins due to take effect in 2014 we believe that this project is not just viable but essential to ...

Development of corneal biomechanical model. Dynamic topographical characterization based on 3D plenoptic imaging (POPCORN)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
Uncorrected refractive errors are the second leading cause of blindness. Procedures detecting and correcting those errors, such as regular eye exams, glasses or contact lenses or refractive laser based surgery, could thereby transform the lives of millions of people. It is known that successful laser based refractive eye surgery can reduce or even cure common vision refractive errors, as well as, ...

Method for improving the quality of frozen foods by assisting the freezing process and reducing the size of the ice crystals (MINICRYSTAL)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2010,
"Freezing is a very widespread process within the food processing industry, being used not only to manufacture products that are consumed in frozen state, such as ice cream, frozen yoghurts, sorbets, etc, but also as a very important means of preserving fresh foodstuffs. However, freezing animal and plant tissues causes many irreversible physical and chemical changes within the food matrix, often ...
