Bio-Chips/Devices are often mentioned as an example of what Bio-convergence means and do in fact capture much of the essence of this important innovative field. Coupling natural or synthetic biological materials (e.g., macro-molecules, microorganisms, cells, organoids, tissues) with state-of-the-art engineering elements (e.g., electronics, optics, photonics, sensors, activators, microfluidic arrays) creates much of the Bio-convergence "magic" that fulfils its promise. Designing, prototyping and manufacturing small series of Bio-Chips/Devices requires high-end facilities and equipment, as well as an experienced multi-disciplinary A-team that not only masters the methods utilized in these processes but also has the creativity that makes these cutting edge products come to life, literally. Committed to the goals of the National Bio-convergence Program and to maintaining Israel as a global leader in the field, the IIA published this RFP to establish a Bio-Chips/Devices R&D lab. This lab should facilitate Israeli based projects and startups and may also render specialized services to overseas researchers and developers, in academia and industry. Can YOU play a part? Can YOU put a group together and make this unique initiative happen? Let's talk!
Are you eligible to join in the establishment of the most innovative bio-devices and bio-chips lab out there? The Innovation Authority wants you! 📣 We seek great minds for establishing a bio-convergence R&D lab for research in Bio-Devices and Bio-Chips. Show us your vision for integrating engineering and biology to develop world-changing applications in various fields such as health, environment, agriculture, and security - think diagnostic sensors, smart implants for treatment and lab-on-a-chip devices. With a total grant for an approved application up to NIS 75M for the approved program period, you could have a chance to get from the drawing board to real-life impact! Applications can be submitted by September 25th, 2024, at 12:00 noon (IST). Applications submitted after this deadline will not be accepted. Don’t be late! ⏰ Interested in learning all about the How, Where and When, register to our dedicated webinar here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dWdWaMqQ For the full RFP, click the pic below 🖼 👇 https://lnkd.in/daSpnZ52
