Nanosensory and quantum imaging – glass and diamond synergy for next generation biodiagnostics applications

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Smart growth - PL - ERDF (2014PL16RFOP001), managing authority: Ministerstwo obsługujące ministra właściwego ds. rozwoju regionalnego. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Trójmiejski (NUTS PL633); Poland. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 4,145,244.77; EU co-financing EUR 4,145,244.77 (co-financing rate 100%), as stated by the source. Runs 2019-07-01 to 2023-09-28. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS). Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): The project concerns the study of new materials, components and photonic systems in which colour centers or crystalline diamond defects will be used, with specific magnetic and optical properties. It will enable socially important applications, such as the development of super-sensitive detection of cancer cells and nano-marking of biological substances. The synergy of four scientific teams will allow the development of technological platforms with planar glass matrices and structured fibre optics with adequately oriented quantum defects in the diamond. This will allow the use of nonlinear photonics and nano-magnetic interactions to study biological activity. This innovative combination of nano-photo-magnetic-biological methods will enable better understanding and development of the possibilities of spectroscopy, imaging and ultrafast techniques using light.
