The IBIB PAN has received funding for applied research in the biomedical field.

The Medical Research Agency has allocated funds for projects that are part of the specific measures of the Government's Biomedical Sector Development Plan for 2022-2031.

Among the 57 projects that received funding was the project Dr.-Ing. Marcin Urbanowicz from the Laboratory of Bio-sensors and Analytical Microsystems entitled:

Continuous Monitoring System for Drainage Fluids for the Assessment of Treatment Progress in Patients with Secondary Bacterial Peritonitis

The subsidy amounts to: PLN 4,815,100.00

The aim of the project is to develop a new tool that will enable monitoring of the progress of treatment of patients with secondary bacterial peritonitis (SBP) through a miniature pH sensor integrated with a drain, developed at IBIB PAN.
The project involves the use of advanced direct printing technology to produce pH sensors with high stability and sensitivity, which will be maintenance-free, miniature, planar and free of internal liquid electrolyte. The results of the project will contribute to improving the effectiveness of WZO treatment by offering doctors a tool for better control of the patient's condition and faster therapeutic decision-making, and for surgeons, they may be a potential additional source of information, e.g. on the tightness of the gastrointestinal tract anastomosis.
The project meets the needs of modern surgical and oncological medicine, offering an innovative and simple solution for monitoring drainage fluids.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The ABM competition for applied research in the biomedical field (2024/ABM/03/KPO) was conducted as part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, Component D Efficiency, accessibility and quality of the healthcare system, Investment D3.1.1 Comprehensive development of research in the field of medical and health sciences. The amount allocated for the competition was PLN 450 million. The maximum value of co-financing for a single project could be PLN 15 million. The implementation of the supported works is expected to lead to an increase in the number of innovative projects for new or improved solutions/technologies/products/methods with potential for future use, which in the long term may contribute to improving the efficiency and quality of the healthcare system.
