Interview

Standardisation is a voluntary agreement among the interested stakeholders, defining common provisions that facilitate their technical, commercial or managerial activities. Those common provisions conform the content of the standards, developed under the guaranteeing rules of the standardisation organizations.   Elena Ordozgoiti, UNE’s representative in Optogenerapy project, addresses in this interview the main reasons of why standardisation in H2020 projects is a key activity for maximising their impact and...

Optogenerapy partner GeneXplain has built a mathematical model to further improve and optimize the optogenetic pathway of Optogenerapy’s medical device. The model, which allows to predict the behaviour of the cells involved in the production of IFN- β drug for patients suffering from multiple sclerosis, can simulate different scenarios, helping to explore the system without spending resources on experiments.   In this interview, Kamilya Altynbekova, software developer...

Whenever we think of electronics, a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) full of conductive tracks and pads of laminated copper comes to our mind. The possibilities of electronics have been multiplied with printed electronics, a new technology that allows building electronics circuits using conventional printing techniques in a diverse set of materials, and provides extra functionalities to the surfaces and allows thinner, lighter and more adaptable...

From the invention of the first man-made plastic in 1862, the plastic industry has grown exponentially in materials and techniques making impossible, nowadays, to imagine a modern life without plastics. With a vast expertise in plastic injection moulding processes, Optogenerapy’s partner Eurecat brings to the project its expertise on the manufacture of micro and mini plastic pieces by ultrasounds, a ground-breaking concept for the production...
