Over the next four years, the international research project SciFiMed aims to develop a biosensor to help better characterise inflammatory reactions in the body. This visionary project, thereby hopes to improve the diagnosis and therapy of various types of inflammatory diseases. SciFiMed is a FET-open project funded by a €3.5 million Horizon 2020 grant from the European Commission. It is led by a consortium of eight European partners from four different countries. Prof. Dr. Diana Pauly University of Marburg has been entrusted with the coordination of SciFiMed ( Screening of inflammation to enable personalised Medicine ).
Prof. Pauly characterises the interdisciplinary project in the following way: An impaired immune system that is unable to combat infection or triggers autoimmune disease places great strain on those affected. SciFiMed combines state-of-the-art diagnostic technology with fundamental immunological research to be implemented in a new type of biosensor co
