The Internet of Things is regarded as a substantial, future field of development for profound innovations. This development also holds true for IoT-innovations in the fields of biotechnology and medical engineering. A few examples are petri dishes that are equipped with integrated systems to monitor cultivation conditions, OR-instruments that contain tracking functions as well as wound dressings with sensors for infection detection. The range of the IoT-approach’s innovative applications is vast.
Within the ZIM innovation network (ZIM-IN) “Biocompatible IoT-solutions for biotechnology and medical engineering” (BioMed-IoT), we develop new, biocompatible IoT-solutions in the fields of biotechnology and medical engineering. We focus on:
Reproducibility
Cost reduction
Efficiency increase
Monitoring/Data collection
Sustainability

What does it mean if our economy works without fossil raw materials such as oil and gas? The logical answer is that we will have to create value almost exclusively with biological, renewable…
A research team from the University of Freiburg led by biochemist Prof. Dr. Oliver Einsle has discovered how the “Shethna protein II” protects the nitrogen-binding enzyme nitrogenase from damage.
Defossilising the chemicals and derived materials sector is a critical and urgent challenge for industrialisation and delivering the EU’s goal of becoming climate neutral by 2050.
