Our Pollution Research
To date, research has focused on different IP areas, one is based on protein-protein interactions; the second involves the use of molecules that fluoresce when they bind to DNA. These two areas of research are carried out with the aim of developing innovative molecular-based pollution screening technologies.
In addition, cooperation with the School of Physics at the University of Sydney has been long established in order to research the potential integration of these novel pollution assays with nano-structured surfaces. The aim of these interdisciplinary studies seek to further the knowledge pool of technologies that could be applied to future micro-total analytical systems (µ-TAS) and Bio-nanoelectromechanical systems (BioNEMS) for chemical and biological hazard screening tasks.
