Paradigms of current Knowlodge and Technology Transfer projects (under interdisciplinary Scientific collaboration with NTUA)- HESTIA
House/building with minimized Energy requirements with Sensors & Transducers with Intelligence and Autonomy
+ The project refers to the development and implementation of a novel and innovative methodology for the house or building of the next century. Such a house has to offer minimized energy requirements, zero or minus energy demand, as well as intelligent sensor systems, offered at a respectfully low cost of development (The project allows yje consortium for a profit before taxes in the order of €810Μ)

- (ADIT) Advanced Diagnostics & Therapeutics. ADIT aims at developing biosensors and diagnostic tools, in the form of impedance sensors, optic instruments and electromagnetic – magnetic sensors, as well as therapeutic methodologies like skin cancer treatment, magnetically aided targeted drug delivery and electromagnetic stimulation. Apart from that, the know-how extends to other technologies in the field of agriculture. Briefly, these technologies are summarized in the following:

+ Biosensors & diagnostic tools
Development of biosensors, namely blood, urine and saliva testers for parametric measurement of ingredients, viruses etc, including wearables for Troponin-T detection. Furthermore, there has been developed technology on an optical instrument to detect fluorescence, absorption and scattering in a wide range of wavelengths, from 280nm to 1200nm. Currently, there is development of plasmonic films to amplify and therefore to detect bio-molecular compounds with emphasis on skin cancer, ingredients in agricultural products such as olive oil, wine and honey, as well as continuous emission monitoring from exhausts. Finally, the electromagnetic sensors refer to the distant monitoring of diseases of different tissues and/or organs based on the change of the resonance frequency of the given tissue or organ

+ Therapeutic methodologies
Therapeutic methods refer to various technologies. At first, skin cancer can be treated on surfaces where the optical instrument has detected tumour cells by using a special cream that, in the presence of light and oxygen, generates oxidized molecules that preferably cause apoptosis and necrosis of tumour cells without affecting the healthy tissues. The method can also be applied in bowel cancer. The second method is the magnetically aided targeted drug delivery, provided that the tumour is not distributed in the blood. The carriers of the drug are magnetic micro-algae (micro-algae with magnetic nanoparticles). Then, the gradient field concentrates all magnetic micro-algae at the volume(s) of interest, where a localized electric field releases the drug but not the magnetic nanoparticles. Thus, the drug is locally delivered, killing any cell, with the magnetic micro-algae to move through urine. The last therapeutic method is related to electromagnetic stimulation, according to which pulsed electromagnetic fields try to rehabilitate the stereo-structure of proteins, a matter of observation in Cryo-TEM. Initial work concerns treatment of multiple sclerosis

+ Other future products
Agriculture and drinkable water are two major issues in developed and under-developed countries. The quantity and the quality of plants is of critical importance due to the vast increase of population. The Lab participates in the development and dissemination – exploitation of the treatment of agricultural wastes, such as olive oil and wine wastes, that after undergoing a compost process, are further treated to become biological horticulture humus soil, which is used as fertilizer offering 3X increase of production and 5X-7X increase of the quantity of ingredients in these products. The technology is currently selling in about 20 countries worldwide, with relatively small exploitation results. Humus soil can also be used in greenhouses, allowing for sustainable productivity of excellent quality plants, thus allowing for proper certification and packaging (from the field to the shelf). Finally, the lab has initiated its selective magnetic separation, permitting the trapping of different heavy ions on the surface of magnetic particles covered by crown ethers. Furthermore, the lab is continuously studying the water's properties and methods to make it drinkable
