Project description
Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field of science that has advanced significantly over the last years. The aim of biomedical engineering is to develop new technologies for protecting health and life, using knowledge and technological achievements from fields such as biology, physics, chemistry, medicine and pharmacy. Material chemistry is also extremely important in biomedical engineering, thanks to which it is possible to design biomedical devices, diagnostic equipment and implants with specific properties and functionality, often tailored to the individual needs of the patient.
The aim of the work carried out by the team of students is to develop novel polymer materials and biosensors that are used in biomedical engineering. The project team deals in particular with:
- designing electrochemical biosensors for early detection of sepsis,
- developing anticancer drug carriers using biopolymers,
- investigating the possibilities of using electroactive materials in biomedical engineering,
- synthesis, characterization and numerical modeling of biomaterials used in tissue regeneration.
Implementation schedule
- ACS Spring Meeting - American Chemical Society (San Diego, USA), 23-27.03.2025
- 35th Anniversary World Congress on Biosensors - Biosensors 2025 (Lisbon, Portugal), 19-22.05.2025
Funding details
Project Title:
Support for students in improving their competences and skills
Tasks and activities that will be implemented as part of the Project:
The project assumes support for universities (entities directly using support) by enabling students to participate in international competitions, contests and conferences.
Target groups of the Project:
The target group in the Project is universities and students. The project is aimed at students or their teams whose development potential and previous experience give grounds to believe that they can win international competitions and contests of the highest rank.
Project Objective:
The aim of the Project is to support students in developing their:
• competences and skills,
• scientific activity,
• innovation,
• creativity,
by enabling them to participate in international competitions, contests and conferences.
Project Results:
The Project will result in the acquisition of competences or qualifications or skills by persons participating in higher education and an increase in the total number of students who will take part in various forms of international competition within the higher education system
Project Value (total amount of eligible expenses):
PLN 27,500,000.00
Amount of co-financing from European funds (amount of the European Funds contribution):
PLN 22,693,000.00
