BioWings is officially in the final stage of its project life, with only few weeks to go, before the end of the project. Partners agree on the extraordinary outcome of this EU-funded project, which was able to generate 3 FET launchpad projects and 2 transition projects with great expectations in terms of market potential. The scientific activities conducted by lab partners in these last four years, led also to the publication

The BioWings project is helping to solve one of the most important challenges for bringing acoustofluidics out into the healthcare setting – namely being able to repeatably produce diagnostic and therapeutic modules in an industrial manner. What is acoustofluidics and how can it save lives? Acoustofluidics is the science and technology of using sound to move cells and other particles around in a microfluidic chip. In AcouSort’s products this can for instance

The forthcoming EU-ban of lead based piezo electric actuators creates considerable stress on industrial manufacturing that include these components. In an effort to solve this problem, the BioWings project has developed novel lead free electrostrictive and piezoelectric materials. In a collaborative effort BioWings has recently made a breakthrough based on progress in advanced thin film material science that now has immediate impact on industrial development within the field of acoustofluidics. Acoustofluidics

BioWings project meeting took place on the 1st and 2nd September at Lund University, in Sweden: the perfect setting, a context in which both research and industrial opportunities converge and that provided the consortium with the possibility to witness the application of the technology developed within the BioWings project. The aim of the meeting was to provide an overview of current work status as well as to define the remaining tasks
