Ongoing Research Projects

CD-MEDICS

The EU FP7 funded project CD-MEDICS has the goal to develop a technology platform for point-of-care diagnostics, capable of simultaneous genomic and proteomic detection, for the management monitoring and diagnosis of coeliac disease. Coeliac disease affects 1 in 100-300 genetically predisposed individuals who develop a small intestinal inflammation (enteropathy) on exposure to dietary gluten. Accurate and reliable diagnosis together with dietary monitoring are a must for the well-being of CD patients and their social environment. The chip system developed within CD-MEDICS will enable fast and accurate diagnosis by combining serology tests with HLA-typing.

SmartHealth

With the EU FP6 funded project SmartHealth, we contribute to the development of the next generation of smart diagnostic systems fully integrated into healthcare systems in Europe. Driven by key applications in cancer diagnostics, SmartHealth will enable enhanced medical diagnosis leading to earlier and more precise results and thus contributing to an increased quality of life.
