Nanobiotechnology laboratory

The Nanobiotechnology Laboratory features state-of-the-art equipped facilities designed to foster interdisciplinary studies. A special emphasis lies on characterisation of nanomaterials, micro-nanoplastics, nanomedicines, advanced materials and their interactions with biological systems, as well as on the detection, identification and characterisation of nanomaterials in food and consumer products.

Priority topics of the Nanobiotechnology laboratory:
- Nanomaterial characterisation including their interactions with biological systems (culture media, proteins, etc.).
- Detection of nanomaterials and nano-microplastics in complex matrices.
- Surface chemical analysis of macro and nanomaterials. Surface modification and nano-fabrication.
- Biomolecular interaction studies, characterisation of antibodies and antigens, bio-interfaces characterisation.
- Advanced material characterisation for non-bio-applications (energy, transport, circular economy, environment etc.).

The proposal should be submitted to JRC-RI-OPEN-ACCESS@ec.europa.eu by the closing date of the call.
