Abstract

This proposal aims the development of a collaborative research project between the Advanced Technology Institute ATI/Univ. of Surrey (UK), and the Center for Engineering, Modeling and Applied Social Sciences CECS/Federal Univ. of ABC, UFABC (BR). For this joint research, we propose the development of two work packages: (WP1) the development of micrometric biosensors; and (WP2) the Engineering of single nanoparticle-based nano-SQUID. This last one is dedicated to early-stage disease detection. We planned 2 visits of the UFABC team to ATI/U. Surrey and 2 visits to the ATI/U. Surrey team to UFABC. Due to the quality of the executive group, we believe that this joint research will be possible to enhance individual experience, and promote cross-culture communication. Therefore, we can obtain groundbreaking results that will be used in scientific publications, and participation in international/national conferences, and will lay the base for a long-term collaboration between ATI/U. Surrey and UFABC. (AU)
