NAPARBA

Nanoparticle-based point of care detection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria

What is NAPARBA

NAPARBA aims at the development of a reliable and sustainable nanotechnology-enabled approach to ultrasensitively detect and differentiate antibiotic-resistant bacteria in a point of care diagnostic setting. The project addresses the core challenge to detect bacteria and in particular to differentiate resistant from non-resistant strains at low concentrations of potential biomarkers. The approach developed in NAPARBA to separate, up-concentrate and analyze small amounts of DNA will tested for applicability in a prototypical demonstrator to ensure applicability in a working environment.

This project is carried out in the framework of the Southeast Asia – Europe Joint Funding Scheme for Research and Innovation – 2019 S&T Joint Call for Proposals, and has received funding from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under grant agreement No 01DP20005, the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) under grant agreement No 119N544, and Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP) under grant agreement No PRJ-90/LPDP/2020.
