Assembling partnerships to develop effective biorecognition assays able to address FP7 calls and other international initiatives
Network for the development of selective bio-recognition and bio-affinity platforms
Gathering several European competences, in the fields of biosensors, supramolecular chemistry and molecular biology, electrochemistry, microfabrication and nanotechnology the Network for the development of selective bio-recognition and bio-affinity platforms, launched with UNESCO support, finds important Bio-medical and Environmental applicative niches.The network pursues the participation to 7 Framework Program calls for proposals as a perfect opportunity to gather momentum, attract funds for actual research and connect to the problems and priorities of the society.Repsentatives of the groups involved together with ICB in the network on bio-affinity platforms:
