BioAssembler

📢 We are back! And today we want to share you a new deliverable - the Project Quality Management Plan (PQMP) ❓What is the Project Quality Management Plan (PQMP) ❓ The PQMP is our essential guide for managing and maintaining quality throughout the project’s lifecycle. Designed for the entire project consortium, it provides a comprehensive overview of project information, key contacts, management structures, guidelines, templates, and procedures. It also covers quality and risk management, publication processes, and financial management, ensuring a structured approach to achieving project goals. Aligned with the European Commission guidelines and the Grant/Consortium Agreements, the PQMP highlights critical sections without replacing these documents. It is a living document, regularly updated to remain accurate, with the latest version available in the project’s shared workspace. While the public version excludes sensitive data, project members have access to a complete version in the shared workspace. This plan is particularly valuable for Horizon Europe projects, where effective management tools are essential. 🌟 You can find this deliverable here: https://lnkd.in/dwwcWwgj Happy reading! #Bioassembler #ProjectManagement #HorizonEurope #QualityManagement

✨Season's greetings✨ The BioAssembler team wishes you all a very happy holiday season and a 2025 full of peace and fulfilment! We'll be back at the beginning of next year, energised to continue working together. Until then, we leave you with a little gift: photos of the BioAssemblage performance. [Visit our Facebook page for some videos: https://lnkd.in/g2qDPnAr] Thank you for accompanying us on this journey of #biotechnological #innovation! See you in January!

[For our Portuguese-speaking followers] Esta sexta-feira, às 18h, no Centro Cultural Penedo da Saudade! 👇

‼️ It's this Friday ‼️ If you are unable to join us in Coimbra, you can follow the live presentation of the results of the BioAssembler Artistic Residency on the Penedo da Saudade Cultural Centre's Facebook page. HERE: https://lnkd.in/dEyDbvTT #sciart #biosensors #bioassembler

After DNA zipcoding, it's time to talk about DNA synthesis 🧬 📌 And we have a new deliverable to share! Scaling up the optical system for #photolithographic #DNA synthesis to support wafer-scale production is a major challenge in BioAssembler. This demands an optical system capable of precise spatial control to selectively illuminate targeted positions on the wafer surface. Dive into the details of our #innovative prototype system - developed by the project to address these challenges - here: https://lnkd.in/dHeQMbqd VTT Universität Wien Abcalis GmbH Jobst Technologies GmbH - an IST AG company Biomensio Ltd CES | Centro de Estudos Sociais da Universidade de Coimbra

📢 Are you ready for an amazing new? The BioAssembler Artist Residency is coming to an end! ✨ 🎉 And we now have all the information you need to attend the public presentation of the artistic product that resulted from the visits that artist Andrea Inocêncio made to our partners VTT and Biomensio Ltd last summer. 🕦 The presentation will take place in Coimbra, at the Penedo da Saudade Cultural Centre, on 20 December at 6pm. There will also be a live broadcast. Find out more about this event here: https://lnkd.in/duRerJGx And also here: https://lnkd.in/dW3pn5ay Can we count on your presence? #sciart #biosensors CES | Centro de Estudos Sociais da Universidade de Coimbra Abcalis GmbH JOBST Universität Wien

Back to Work Package 4 - DNA Zipcoding 🧬 🎉 And to another deliverable published! This time, our colleagues at Universität Wien and VTT focused on the #DNA-guided self-assembly of #proteins methodology. They have tested some strategies for designing DNA Zipcodes to be used in the novel multiplex #biosensor developed within BioAssembler. Designing specific DNA sequences that, when attached to proteins, can guide their assembly on surfaces functionalized with the complementary oligos (#zipcodes) is crutial in this type of devices. While this approach offers great potential for precision and efficiency in biosensing, it comes with its own set of challenges. In this deliverable, our colleagues share the key results from hybridization experiments with candidate sequences, addressing limitations such as cross-hybridization and outlining steps for optimization and future research.

⁉ What is a biosensor? Today we bring you a treat 🎊: the first entry of one of our art-based communication products - the BioAssembler visual dictionary! And we start at the beginning, by introducing a biosensor. The text and illustration are available here: https://lnkd.in/dKwrX8Xz Happy reading!!

🎯 We've made exciting progress in the photolithographic synthesis of #DNA that we're using for the BioAssembler biosensor! We now have a new protocol for the direct photolithographic DNA synthesis on wafer surfaces. And best of all? All stages of the process work perfectly with the materials designed for our #biosensor. Under current conditions, we can add each DNA ‘building block’ in just around 1.8 minutes. ⏳ But we're not stopping there - we're focusing on making the process faster and more efficient. 💡 For example, we're exploring new materials to make DNA more stable on the surface, which is particularly important when DNA needs to pair with other molecules for long periods. Our colleagues at Universität Wien have done a great job! Read all about this development here: https://lnkd.in/dZp2hy_J
