Collaborators

Collaborators from others entities

  • Valenciana de Aquicultura

Valenciana de Acuicultura is a company located in Puzol dedicated to the production of fish for human consumption. Our collaboration with this company is destined to the control and identification of infectious pathogens in the water used, preventing the contagion of the animals. The newspaper El País has made a very accurate description of the company, which can be read here.

 

  • Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung (German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment)

Collaboration with Dr. Jens André Hammerl from the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment for the study and detection of Vibrio vulnificus strains that belongs to the European lineage Dr. Jens' group is part of the division of diagnosis and characterization of pathogens and parasites in food that aims to protect the health of consumers. Specifically, the group is focused on the isolation and identification of Vibrio strains.

 

  • Dresden

Collaboration with Prof. Dr. Gianaurelio Cuniberti and Dr. Bergoi Ibarlucea of the Chair of Materials Science and Nanotechnology at the Technical University of Dresden and the Max Bergmann Centre for Biomaterials on the development of biosensors for the rapid detection of Vibrio species in water or biological samples.

 

  • IBMCP

Collaboration with Dr. Diego Orzaez from the Plant Genomics and Biotechnology Laboratory in the development of oral subunit vaccines expressed in plant biofactories. This laboratory is focused on the design of innovative agricultural products using gene editing and synthetic biology tools. Its main objective is to increase the value of plants of agricultural interest by affecting their shape, colour, aroma or properties.

 

  • IDM - Biological sensors

Collaboration with the research group led by Dr. Ángel Maquieira Catalá (Biological Sensors) from the Interuniversitary Research Institute for Molecular Recognition and Technological Development (IDM) of the UPV in the development of biosensors that allow a rapid and low-cost identification of different species of the genus Vibrio from environmental or clinical samples.
