BNC leads H2020 project in nanoelectronics

Bio Nano Consulting (BNC), announces the start of a multinational project funded by the European Commission under the H2020 ICT Programme: PETMEM (Piezoelectronic Transduction Memory Device). PETMEM is a European partnership amongst Universities, Research Institutions, SMEs and a large company that will focus on the development of new materials and characterization tools to enable the […]

New contract for research collaboration

Bio Nano Consulting (BNC), is pleased to announce that it has signed a contract for a new two-year research collaboration with one of its key partners in the Middle East. Representing BNC’s third major collaboration with the Chemistry Department of King Abdulaziz University (KAU), this contract will support two collaborative research projects in the increasingly-important […]

Innovate UK funds BNC for kidney disease sensor

The Smart Award will support further development of BNC’s proprietary technology capable of quantifying protein in urine. According to a report published in 2012 by NHS Kidney Care, kidney disease costs the NHS over £1.4 billion per annum, more than breast, lung, colon and skin cancers combined. A year later, the Kidney Health Report highlighted that […]

Case Study on Longitude Prize website

Bio Nano Consulting (BNC), together with its academic partners at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN), has spearheaded the use of nanomechanical sensors known as “cantilevers” to analyse in detail the mechanism of action of a new antibiotic that holds promise as one of the few antibiotics that can be used to combat increasingly resistant […]

Launch of the water reuse network

BNC is pleased to announce the launch of a new computational tool for assessing the economic viability of “greywater” reuse networks for use by local government, town and city planners, and private developers.  As part of BNC’s Smart Water  focus, BNC is launching a consultancy service to make this important tool commercially available. The water […]

Nanocantilevers quantify free antibiotics in blood

BNC collaborators at University College London have developed nanomechanical cantilever sensor arrays capable of quantifying free antibiotics in human blood while confirming the efficacy of the dose.  Cantilever arrays are effectively micron-scale “diving boards” fabricated from silicon that bend when a drug being studied binds to a target receptor on the cantilever’s surface.  The work, […]
