Objective The aim of this project is to design, develop and test a prototype of a system for legal recording, retrieving and monitoring operations of Amphetamine-Type Stimulants (ATS) and ATS precursor laboratories in urban areas. The sensor system will be installed within the sewage system and will track waste associated to ATS production. Criminal investigators and forensic specialists will use the system in case of: (i) initial general suspicion of ATS production in a certain area, for locating laboratories by monitoring the sewage system for long time periods; (ii) strong suspicions that in a well confined area ATS is being produced, for collecting material for forensic analysis and potential use in court, and for aiding in the planning of LEA raid operations.

COMOS – Optical point of care system for heart failure mass screening – Further information on CORDIS web site
Funded under H2020-EU.13.2, program Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships – grant agreement n°661484 – Duration: 24 months, 2015 – 2017
coordination: Institute of Analytical Science – UMR 5280
Objective The Scope of this project is to develop a tool for HF-biomarkers detection through saliva. The idea is to combine the knowledge of the experienced researcher in microelectronics and CMOS imagers with the competences of the hosting laboratory on bioMEMs for biomarkers immobilization to develop an innovative point-of-care system for a fast and precise detection of HF-biomarkers. The proposed device will allow a mass screening for the prevention of HF and other pathologies related to the cardiovascular system.
