Partners from the MUNASET project met to report their progress and set the objectives for upcoming work.

Proteases recently emerged as a promising new class of biomarkers with a broad diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic potential for different human diseases including neurological and psychiatric diseases, several types of cancer and immune system disorders. However, there is a lack of tools for real-time activity analysis of disease-related protease biomarkers.

With a nearly €6 million budget, 2D-BioPAD will develop a diagnostic system for early Alzheimer's disease detection. This Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action funded by the European Union, officially commenced on October 2023 and will last 48 months.

The IIT researcher focuses on the interface between the bio and nano realms

The new biosensor looks like a small box connected to a mobile phone. This device can immediately detect even very small antibiotic residues, namely ampicillin, in water or dairy products.

Graphene devices can transform neurological care

Sebastian Klenk, a PhD student at the Graphene Flagship Partner University of the Bundeswehr Munich (Germany) is investigating biosignal detection with 2D carbon electrodes.

Graphene Flagship-affiliated researcher Ester Vázquez Fernández-Pacheco has been awarded a prize by the government of Spanish region Castilla-La Mancha for Investigation and Innovation in Science.

Short visit grants for the Graphene Flagship’s Partnering Division foster European joint efforts

A turnkey instrument to support clinicians and histopathologists

Graphene Flagship researchers discovered reduced graphene oxide particles released from plastic composites after abrasion induce negligible health effects in safety analyses

Graphene Flagship researchers have developed an innovative graphene sensor to capture the sound of a single bacterium. These graphene-enabled sensors tell apart living organisms, which enables researchers to identify drug-resistant bacteria through the detection of distinctive sounds.

Graphene Flagship researchers Valentina Castagnola and Clarissa Braccia, based at Graphene Flagship partner IIT, in Italy, share their latest experiences and discoveries in the field of graphene and related materials.

Graphene Flagship researchers have developed a flexible neural probe made of graphene-based field-effect transistors. This device records the full spectrum of brain signals, including infraslow signals, demonstrating the ability of graphene-enabled devices to detect some signs of epilepsy with high fidelity.
