Color centers in diamond nanoneedles for intra- and EXTRA-cellular quantum SENSing (EXTRASENS)

Project funded by Research Council of Finland, grant 361115. Participating organisations named by the source: University of Eastern Finland. Funded amount: EUR 272,466, as stated by the source. Runs 2024-09-01 to 2027-08-31. Keywords: Physical sciences. Source: OpenAIRE Graph, from the funder's project data (collected by OpenAIRE on 2026-07-23); national funding data, not CORDIS. Abstract given by the source: Fundamental life science and practical medicine need tools to probe electromagnetic field, temperature, and pH with nanometer spatial resolution in order to gain insights into the intra- and extra-cellular processes. EXTRASENS develops multimodal quantum biosensor complemented with super resolution bioimaging functionality using color centers in biocompatible diamond single crystal nanoneedles. The project technology will provide benefits for European society and citizens enabling in the middle-to-long run new strategies and standards for disease diagnosis, prognosis, and (crucially) prevention, and as a result, improving wellbeing.
