• ·
• Project Size : 0 - 50,000 €

As a global market leader in frozen foods, Nomad Foods is seeking to future-proof our packaging portfolio by identifying sustainable, kerbside-recyclable alternatives to our current flexible plastic bags. The solution must withstand continuous storage at -18°C and meet RecyClass RAM Grade A or B criteria, specifically optimized for the UK recycling infrastructure. We prioritize materials that can be integrated into existing manufacturing lines and are supported by case studies of successful market implementation. The ideal solution should be scalable across our global brand footprint.

Scientists at EMBL-EBI, CNIC and CSIC have discovered a new type of telomere fusion that is not present in blood from healthy donors but can be detected well in the blood of cancer patients. They developed computational tools for the reliable identification of these fusions. Additionally, predictive models have been established that allow for the detection of the presence of a tumour using sequencing data from a blood sample. We hereby present an approach for a highly specific, minimally invasive and early detection of cancer. The sensitivity and false positive rate are comparable to recent liquid biopsy analysis methods. The performance of the tools is comparable across cancer stages. The tool has been validated using close to 10,000 whole genome sequencing datasets.

The invention describes a method for synthesizing a bifunctional copolymer designed for the detection and removal of specific anions, such as nitrates, in drinking water. This material can be easily regenerated, allowing for repeated use over time and resulting in cost savings. Additionally, the copolymer synthesis does not require polymers or organic solvents, making the process more eco-friendly and efficient. Its effectiveness in purification process is visible to the user through a visual signal, such as a color change, which facilitates monitoring of the filtering material, ensuring timely maintenance or replacement.
