From research to product

A lot of new materials and techniques developed by universities are doomed to become forgotten. As promising as a technique can be, companies have simply no interest in bringing them on the market.

Biomade Technology in Groningen under leadership of professor Robillard is an independant research institute that scientific knoledge turns into commercial applications that contribute to the quality of life. Most technologies developed by Biomade are in the field of biomedical applications of molecular nanotechnology like systems to stabilize therapeutical proteins so that these proteins are not broken down too early. Another example are systems for drug delivery by channel proteins, so that medicins can be activated at the desired spot in the body. The development of these technologies can result into new companies, socalled spin-offs. By Biomade scientific research becomes available in the form of new products instead of passing into oblivion.
