The Smart Award will support further development of BNC’s proprietary technology capable of quantifying protein in urine. According to a report published in 2012 by NHS Kidney Care, kidney disease costs the NHS over £1.4 billion per annum, more than breast, lung, colon and skin cancers combined. A year later, the Kidney Health Report highlighted that […]
Bio Nano Consulting (BNC), together with its academic partners at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN), has spearheaded the use of nanomechanical sensors known as “cantilevers” to analyse in detail the mechanism of action of a new antibiotic that holds promise as one of the few antibiotics that can be used to combat increasingly resistant […]
BNC is pleased to announce the launch of a new computational tool for assessing the economic viability of “greywater” reuse networks for use by local government, town and city planners, and private developers. As part of BNC’s Smart Water focus, BNC is launching a consultancy service to make this important tool commercially available. The water […]
BNC collaborators at University College London have developed nanomechanical cantilever sensor arrays capable of quantifying free antibiotics in human blood while confirming the efficacy of the dose. Cantilever arrays are effectively micron-scale “diving boards” fabricated from silicon that bend when a drug being studied binds to a target receptor on the cantilever’s surface. The work, […]
BNC, world-leading technology solution-providers and strategic consultants working in a range of high-technology sectors, is pleased to announce that it has won a grant from the Technology Strategy Board under its Technology-inspired Feasibility Studies competition in the “Electronics, Sensors and Photonics” (ESP) category. The grant will support further development of BNC’s novel arsenite sensor which […]
Bio Nano Consulting (BNC), London-based technology solution-providers and strategic consultants working in a range of high-technology sectors, is pleased to announce that it has agreed a joint research collaboration with Arup, one of the world’s leading engineering consultancies, to develop an engineering methodology for the design and deployment of water re-use networks. The project will […]
Bio Nano Consulting (BNC), world-leading technology solution-providers and strategic consultants working in a range of high-technology sectors, is pleased to announce that it has signed a contract with a major research institution in the Middle East for two collaborative research projects in the field of environmental nanotechnology. The agreement, worth £1 million over two years […]
One of Bio Nano Consulting’s founding directors, Professor Tony Cass of the Imperial College Chemistry Department, was among three scientists honoured recently by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) for their contributions to diabetes monitoring. Specifically, the team that created a new type of sensor allowing diabetics to easily and accurately monitor their blood sugar […]
Bio Nano Consulting (BNC), specialists in bio and nanotechnology partnerships between the academic and industrial sectors, announces the start of a multinational project funded by the European Commission under the FP7 NMP Programme: V-SMMART Nano (Volumetric Scanning Microwave Microscopy Analytical and Research Tool for Nanotechnology). The V-SMMART Nano team will produce a new tool, the […]
