Our Partners, the University of Nottingham, University of Warwick and National Physical Laboratory (NPL), are seeking companies with an interest in managing, detecting or engineering in-vivo biofilms. Particularly those who would benefit from characterizing them at a molecular level or tracking the progress of a target molecule using models of the lung and skin infection.
Managing, detecting or engineering in-vivo biofilms and the penetration of activespecies
Our Partners, the University of Nottingham, University of Warwick and National Physical Laboratory (NPL), are seeking companies with an interest in managing, detecting or engineering in-vivo biofilms. Particularly those who would benefit from characterizing them at a molecular level or tracking the progress of a target molecule using models of the lung and skin infection. This is with a view to developing a POC for the NBIC Call but other contacts are welcome.
The Problem
The understanding of in-vivo biofilms is currently sketchy. The complexity of these environments that comprise bacteria in close proximity with host cells is becoming more challenging to study as it emerges that they are often polymicrobial. Both the biodiversity and the spatial structure of in-vivo biofilms can be hard to mimic using in-vitro models. The recalcitrance to antimicrobial therapies of these biofilms, generates challenging clinical scenarios that need to be unpicked to develop novel applications to solve them.
Investigators need to use in-vivo-like biofilm platforms to determine:
A Proposed Solution
The University of Nottingham, the University of Warwick and NPL have access to:
National Biofilms Innovation Centre, where we connect and collaborate with academics and industrial partners to harness the UKs academic and industrial strengths in Biofilms for economic and Societal benefit. we are funded by BBSRC and Innovate UK and the Hartree centre.
