Student visit INL – Braga (Portugal)
Students from the Healthcare professional family visited the INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory in Braga. It was a day full of learning, innovation and discovery, in which they were able to learn about the most cutting-edge advances in the field of research and technology applied to health.
During the tour, they explored the laboratories, interacted with experts in nanotechnology and microfluidcis and discovered how FLUFET is improving healthcare.

Graphene Week –Prague (Czech Republic)
Last week at GrapheneWeek, our partners Graphenea (Alba Centeno and Amaia Rebollo) and VTT (Miika Soikkeli) have their respectives presentations. Amaia Rebollo delivered an insightful talk on ‘Opportunities in Graphene-based Biosensors,’ and also took the opportunity to highlight FLUFET!
November 11th and 13th
International Conference on Pandemic Preparedness -Trieste (Italy)
FLUFET partners ICGEB and CIC biomaGUNE recently participated in the "International Conference on Pandemic Preparedness" held in Trieste. Organized by Alessandro Marcello from ICGEB and Area Science Park, the conference aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of emerging viruses with epidemic potential, with a focus on prevention, surveillance, detection, drug discovery, and fostering international collaboration for effective pandemic response strategies.

April 3rd and 4th
FLUFET Kick-off meeting!
FLUFET has started! On April 3 and 4, the kick-off meeting for the presentation of the FLUFET project took place at the Paraninfo of the University of A Coruña. Members of the entire consortium, consisting of research centers and companies from Spain, Italy, Finland and Portugal, attended to discuss the organization and challenges of the project and plan for the coming months.
We were able to discuss the structure and management of computational methods, to propose protocols for surface functionalization, design how to integrate microfluidics into the system, the future design of the sensing system, how to check the stability and accuracy of the measurements and future applications.
The good interaction and synergies between the members suggest a promising future for this project that proposes to respond to the problem of detecting viruses and new zoonoses in farm environments.
