Advanced solution for rapid cloning of very large DNA fragments
20.10.2014 | International cooperation
A Slovenian SME has developed a rapid cloning and gene manipulation platform for fast and efficient mobilization of large DNA fragments. The technology is based on one-step in vivo recombinational cloning. The technology allows for delivery of error-free DNA fragments and is used for cloning of large and complex gene clusters encoding bacterial...
New method for the molecular detection of Tropheryma whipplei
16.10.2014 | International cooperation
A Spanish public research organization has developed a method for the detection of Tropheryma whipplei that is based on the multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique for the amplification of partial sequences of the gene nucleotidic sequence that codifies to different proteins, so it is the most effective and sensible way to detect this...
R&D platform dedicaded to metabolic and age-related disorders (diabetes and sarcopenia)
14.10.2014 | International cooperation
A French biotech SME develops innovative therapeutics and associated services for metabolic, inflammatory and ageing disorders. This SME is offering its high level of expertise, scientific leadership, R&D capacities and access to patients to promote early stage innovation at industrial standards. This SME is looking for partners involved in health...
Bacterial mutants for industrial succinate production
10.10.2014 | International cooperation
A Flemish Research Organisation has found a method to increase the succinate production per cell by 40%. The system can be applied in any succinate producing strain to increase production rate. Succinate has been marked by the US Department of Energy (DOE) as one of the top added value chemicals from renewable resources. They are looking for...
Organ printing in regenerative medicine
8.10.2014 | International cooperation
A German university hospital offers a new technology for 3D-printing of cell-laden hydrogels submerged in a hydrophobic high-density fluid. This invention works with non-miscible solvents of high density, thus overcoming problems of conventional methods that can often only print small constructs. Applications are in tissue engineering and...
UK University seeks industrial partner for licence of stress-responsive probiotic
6.10.2014 | International cooperation
A UK university has identified a unique probiotic strain of Streptococcus thermophilus (NCIMB 41856) that will be developed for use in veterinary practice for stress-associated diarrhoea, especially in dogs. They are seeking industrial partners for a technical cooperation agreement for development, in vivo trials and licensing...
New methods and compositions for biologically controlling microbial growth on clean room equipment
2.10.2014 | International cooperation
An Austrian interdisciplinary research institute in the field of pharmaceutical process and product-development has developed a method for controlling microbial growth on clean room equipment. This technology will result in the identification of new biologically derived antibiotics and the significant reduction of microbial contamination in clean...
Genome amplification and specific detection of the West Nile Virus (WNV).
30.9.2014 | International cooperation
A Spanish public research organization has developed a method based on the real time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) technique to amplify any of the lineages of the the West Nile Virus (WNV) genome. Primers and probe used lead to a high sensitivity in the detection of all of the lineages and a high specificity towards the WNV. Biotech or...
Novel technology based on Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) for medical, veterinary and other life science applications
26.9.2014 | International cooperation
A German applied research company has developed a novel technology based on Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) applicable for medical, veterinary and other life science areas. The technique is portably, fast and sensitive. Exhaled breath of the patients is used as diagnostic matrix as well as headspaces of microbiological cultures; i.e. to be used in...
Developer of Biological Control Organisms for mushrooms
24.9.2014 | International cooperation
A Spanish SME focused in the development and application of alternatives to pesticides is looking for a specialist in the industrial production of microorganisms and organisms in bioreactors. The microorganisms will be applied to the development of biological and microbiological applications as alternatives to chemical defense applications. The...
