Text Box: iXscient is currently involved in project management of a number of important R&D projects.

Text Box: The SmartHEALTH Integrated Project will develop and deliver the next generation of smart diagnostic systems fully integrated into healthcare systems in Europe. Driven by key applications in cancer diagnostics, SmartHEALTH will develop next generation diagnostic systems, integrated into an ambient intelligent health care environment, enabling enhanced medical diagnosis and leading to earlier and more precise results and thus contributing to an increased quality of life. Project Identifier: FP6-2004-IST-NMP-2-016817 Total cost: € 21.8M, EC funding: € 12.3M

Text Box: iXscient have been involved in developing, writing, submitting and in some cases managing a number of successful UK national and EU proposals. These include: NAS-SAP - Nano Arrayed Systems based on Self Assembling Proteins - FP6-2003-NMP-TI-3-main STREP No. 013523 Medisine - Automated Cervical Cancer Cytology —UK Health Technology Devices Project HTD-222 DopoMOF– High speed precision Dispensing of Polymers on Micro-Optical Film - UK DTI Technology Programme Project OPT-CON-SOL -  Optical Film for Solar Concentrators. Carbon Trust funded proposal. The BNG: UK BioNanoCentre. DTI MNT Capital Projects funded programme for a London-based bionano centre in collaboration with London Centre of Nanotechnology and National Physical Laboratory. Optonanogen (IST-2001-37239) - develop a portable, integrated opto-nanomechanical biosensor for functional genomic applications CellSens (QLK3-CT-2001-00244) - Novel in-vitro testing platforms based on intra- and extracellular sensing AWACSS - Automated Water Analyser Computer Supported System (EVK1-CT-2000-00045) KEMiCC:  (G1RD-CT-2000-00469) Key elements for the application of microreactors in multiphasic Catalytic Chemistry.  

Text Box: The ProeTEX Integrated Project will develop textile and fibre based integrated smart wearables for emergency disaster intervention personnel, improving their safety, coordination and efficiency and for injured civilians, optimising their survival management. The technology development will create micro-nano-engineered smart textile systems - integrated systems (fabrics, wearable garments) using specifically textile-based micro-nano technologies including sensors, communication, power generation and storage. These will be capable of being combined into diverse products addressing this core application area but also a wide range of other markets from extreme sports, through healthcare to transportation maintenance and building workers. Project Identifier: FP6-2004-IST-4-026987 Total cost: € 12.8M, EC funding: € 8.1M

Text Box: CD-MEDICS

Text Box: The objective of CD-MEDICS is to obtain an instrument that will be a low-cost non-invasive intelligent diagnosis system that can be present at point of care, such as a doctors surgery which will bring benefits to patients and healthcare professionals. The applications of the proposed integrated microsystem and its individual modules for coeliac disease diagnosis, monitoring and management are multiple. The analysis of the HLA-DQ2 & 8 genes will provide information on the genetic predisposition of an individual, while serum IgA and IgG indicate antibodies associated with gluten in the diet. The CD-MEDICS IP project started on 1st February 2008 and is set to run for a period of 4 years. It is sponsored under the EU Framework 7 programme to 9.5 Million Euros and has 20 partners from 10 countries currently participating.
