Long description

We deals with variety of water soluble biocompatible metallic nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanorods, nanotriangles, nanohexagons, nanocrystals, etc.
The naomaterials and nanoconstructs are available for gold, silver, palladium, platinum and iron in aqueous base.
These nanomaterials have wide spectrum utility for nanoscience and nanotechnology researchers in academia and industry.
The major applications can be exploited in disease diagnosis, therapeutic effectiveness, Novel drug delivery formulations and also in areas other than biomedical field.
Biocompatibly coated gold and silver nanoparticles allow systematic variations in metal content, thus providing unprecedented means of developing mono or multi nanolayers with assorted metal content for variety of materials and biomedical research applications.
Aggregation of gold and silver nanoparticles in ionic media is a common phenomenon, thereby impeding researchers from carrying out important experiments in ionic fluids.
The technology allows retention of nanoparticulate properties of gold and silver even in the presence of high concentrations of ions. The new dispersible solution phase nanoconstructs allow customers to directly utilize gold and silver nanoparticles in solution phase for such research and product development applications that involve spraying, spin coating, emulsification, mixing, and implanting processes.
Gold nanoconstructs allows researchers to use “one-step” direct labeling of biocompatible gold nanoparticles with target specific proteins/peptides and various markers.
Silver nanomaterials has potential anitmicrobial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, germicidal, etc. applications in health, hygeine, packaging and environmental restoration domains.
Palladium and platinum nanoparticles are unique resources for catalytic testing and manufacture of specialty fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.

ITS provides electrical tomography instrumentation, software, sensors and technical support. This enables customers to continuously scan a volume and determine the distribution of electrical properties as they change over time.

Tomography involves taking measurements around the periphery of an object (eg process vessel or patient) to determine what is going on inside.

The best known technique is CAT scanning in medicine, however process tomography instrumentation is cheaper, faster and more robust.

The integrated project PACE will explore the utilization of the simplest technically feasible elementary living units (artificial cells much simpler than current cells) to build evolvable complex information systems. We will create, analyse and investigate the applications of such systems that process information by self-organization starting at molecular scales. We will also determine whether life-like properties are necessary for computational systems to be fully robust and adaptive and investigate the tension between evolvable living autonomy and programmable utilization.. We will explore the collective properties of artificial cells and demonstrate that they are the right material for building nanoscale robot ecologies. The particular molecular systems we will consider will have genetically controlled catalytic reactions, self-assembly of complex supramolecular structures, and energy transduction. We will investigate the stepwise evolution of such complex systems by machine complementation and combinatorial search using a programmable microfluidic interface. We will provide theoretical and simulation frameworks for understanding emergent computational properties of such systems, and experimental frameworks for programming them by evolutionary exploration of chemical reactions. We will integrate and disseminate multidisciplinary European activities to give it a decisive international competitive advantage in this FET.

Modern biology and medical science are yielding breathtaking advances on a daily basis and the pace of discovery is radically accelerating. Yet, scientific innovations with enormous market potential often remain relegated to the academic domain due to a lack of the critical industry expertise and seed capital needed to move a technology beyond the lab in a commercially-driven direction.
PureTech was founded by a group of entrepreneurs and pharmaceutical industry executives to bridge this widening "venture gap" between the lab and venture capital. We partner with scientists to co-found life science ventures and provide the seed capital, experienced management, support, and strategic planning essential to building a successful company around a breakthrough technology. We also provide access to an extensive scientific advisory, business and investor network that is of great value as a new venture matures beyond the early stage.

Our focus is on scientific breakthroughs that have the potential to significantly impact the biotechnology, medtech and pharmaceuticals industries. We encourage scientists and entrepreneurs to contact us at the idea stage, even before a company is formed or a business plan has been written.
