NanoSensEu (R-2641)

This NanoSensEu project will develop a universal measuring surface for biosensors. Biosensors are highly sensitive analytical systems that can detect the presence of biomarkers in samplel material. Biomarkers are molecules or properties that can be objectively measured in several samples and who thus can provide more clarity about the state of the sample. For example, biomarkers that are characteristic for diseases at an early stage, so the chances of recovery are greatest when these biomarkers are found in the sample. Or biomarkers in the form of food allergens that may trigger an allergic reaction if this food is consumed. So far, biosensors were developed to suit a specific biomarker, typical for the research area of interest. In this project however, a universal measuring surface is developed where, depending on the desired area of research interest, biomarkers of choice can be detected.Proceeding from the business community, especially from the companies that identify and develop biomarkers, there is a strong interest to further development of this measurement surface to the detection of biomarkers of their interest.
