Adapting Maxwellian’s surface plasmon resonance optical sensor platform for COVID detection

To control and thwart the COVID19 pandemic, significant efforts are being deployed to adapt existing diagnostic tests, including those that use the standard reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method, to detect the SARS-COV-2 virus. Despite its high sensitivity and ability to detect small virus amounts in samples, RT-PCR is time consuming and subject to […]

Photoelectrochemical biosensing for COVID-19: virus and antibodies

This project aims to develop a Photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor based on photoactive nanoparticles such as Quantum Dots (QDs) for the detection of COVID19 and related antibodies. Highly efficient QDs based on engineered core/multi-shelled structures will be developed and their interaction with a molecular recognition element (MRE) layer will be investigated. A consistent structure-property picture of […]

Development of a multiplexed mass spectrometry assay for the detection and quantification of organ toxicity biomarkers during preclinical drug safety assessments

In recent years, the interest given to disease biomarkers has boomed. Biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies are exploring ways to use biomarkers to speed up the drug development process, as well as to rapidly assess a diseases state, staging, progression and response to therapy. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) Mass Spectrometry (MS) has been shown to be […]

Extraction of Rare Earth Metals from E-waste

NeoCtech aims at producing critical rare earth elements (REE), e.g. Neodymium and Dysprosium, from end-of-life materials. REE are called rare because there are few viable primary resources to extract them due to mineralogy of REE bearing ores and physicochemical properties of REE. NeoCtech is carrying out R&D to address the circular economy of REE, and […]

Development of Pharmacological Probes for Road-Mapping WD40 Domain Proteins

Since the dawn of the human genome sequencing in 2003, great hopes have been put into the development of new therapeutics and personalized medicine tailored on individual DNA profiles. Nonetheless, progress in these fields has been slow, mainly due to the focus of the research community on only a small number of genes and proteins […]

StudioRx- Business Strategy Internship

Like most sectors of the economy, the retail industry is vigorously stirred by COVID-19, particularly retailers focused on non-essential goods and services with the lengthy closure of nearly all physical stores, notable layoffs, and a dramatic fall in demand, even for those with an online presence. Even after reopening, retailers face significant challenges such as […]
