Pathfinder Rapid and Reliable Detection of Foodborne Pathogens by Employing Multiplexing Biosensor Technology
Coordinator: NATIONAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (TH)
Pathfinder is a important research project focused on development of innovative means of detecting important pathogenic organisms associated with food poisoning. This will be achieved using biosensor technology capable of detecting many different pathogens simultaneously. To achieve the main goal the Marie Curie Fellow, Dr. Nitsara Karoonuthaisiri from Thailand will bring her skills in microarrays and pathogen detection and lead a team of scientists at the Host Institute at Queen’s University Belfast. The Fellow will work closely with the Institute Director, Professor Chris Elliott, an eminen…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €15k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 1 year from 2013-11-08 to 2014-11-07.
