IPIC secures funding for medical device research
Researchers at IPIC, the Research Ireland centre for photonics based at Tyndall National Institute in University College Cork, have been awarded European funding worth €750,000.
The new project, PhotonMed, aims to accelerate uptake and commercialisation of the latest photonics technologies in medical device applications.
The application domains of PhotonMed cover in-vitro diagnostics, in-vivo diagnostics and personalised monitoring. Key photonics technologies include light sources, integrated optics, fibre optics, advanced packaging, microfluidics and reader instrumentation.
Ray Burke, senior technology and principal investigator at IPIC said: “I am honoured to be participating in an exciting project with two highly regarded national partners as it helps us to deliver on a longer term goal of developing a national biophotonics pilot line. In addition, this project helps us to maintain our place at the cutting edge of European biomedical research.”
PhotonMed runs from September 2024 to August 2027, and brings together a consortium of 39 partners from nine countries, featuring a broad set of competencies to cover the full development chain from concepting to industrial fabrication.
