New technology for dynamic screening using controlled fluidics in non steady-state selection (NSSS)
Laboratory of Physiology
A Belgian lab proved it is feasible to impose a Darwinian-type evolution to phages physiologically expressing epitope libraries within a SPR biosensing device, using hydrophobic surface chips to select target-specifc ligands. The selection and control of affinities of the phage populations for the target protein occurs in the machine. The lab wants industrial/research partners experts in microfluids and/or SPR and/or micro-arrays technology to industrialise this new methodology via licensing.
