PHOTOTECH: Photosynthetic proteins for technological applications: biosensors and biochips – First Plenary Workshop COST Action TD1102

Général

The PHOTOTECH Action is aimed at European scientists that work towards the design and production of biosensors based on immobilised photosynthetic proteins. Biosensor technology is a rapidly expanding discipline for the development of high performance detection devices applied to environmental and agro-food monitoring, biomedicine, industrial process control, and security measures. In parallel, applications in photo-electrochemical energy conversion are envisaged.

PHOTOTECH members benefit from:

• the interdisciplinary nature of the program
• access to costly instrumentation and bench tests
• access to deep competences in several fields
• Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSMs) and Training Schools
• new established collaborations
• contact with industrial stakeholders and end-users
• hightened visibility to national/local funding agencies
• training opportunities for early-stage researchers (ESRs)

The aim of this action and event are to facilitate knowledge exchange in the development of photosynthesis-based devices between scientists working in the field.
