The BioInspireSensing project is a trans-national training network inaugurated to train PhD students, in investigating, building, and producing a new generation of bioinspired implantable sensors of pressure, temperature and acidity. WORKING PACKAGES
BioInspire Sensing has 11 individual research projects divided under seven work packages:
WP1 - ETHICS
Lead: Polytechnic University of Catalonia (U
PC)
WP2 - DESIGN AND MODULATION OF NEW BIOMATERIALS AS SENSOR ELEMENT
Description: covers the development of new bio inspired sensor elements from engineered natural molecules. MscL, TRP, and ASIC) and one peptide will be used as element sensor of pressure/stress, temperature, acidity and cholesterol, respectively. Lead: University of Lausanne (UNIL)
WP3 - DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF A BIODEGRADABLE SENSOR SKELETON AND ELECTRODES
Description: Supporting structures for the natural sensor elements will be treated in WP3. Lead: Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC)
WP4 - SENSOR INTEGRATION AND TESTING
Description: Integration of sensor elements into implantable devices will be conducted into the third WP4. Also, a specific testing device will be built based on microfluidic and microenvironmental control technologies, to recreate biological cells environments in order to evaluate the sensor device behaviour. Lead: University of Warsaw (UW)
WP5 - TRAINING AND TRANSFERABLE SKILLS
Lead: 4Dcell
WP6 - DISSEMINATION, EXPLOITATION AND OUTREACH
Lead: University of Teramo
WP7 - MANAGEMENT
Lead: Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC)
