Granted in 2021 by the Regione Emilia Romagna within the programme POR-FESR 2014/2020 ‘Progetti di promozione dell’export e per la partecipazione a eventi fieristici 2021’ for the project ElectroPhyNe-Net: international NET for selling electronic instrumentation in electrophysiology and neuroscience fields CUP E19J21009300002.
The project aims at participating at on site and on line international fair in the electrophysiology and neuroscience fields. Grant amount 10.000,00€. More details available here.

Granted in 2021 by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) within the Eurostars programme as partner of HybridHeart -Integrating Hybrid Digital Twin Technology in Massively Parallel Solid State Patch Clamp Amplifiers Eurostars 2021 CoD15 – HybridHeart_ES21COD15_00007.
Leading agency Nanion Technologies GmbH partner UMC-Utrecht.
The project aims at developing novel multichannel amplifiers based on custom microchips with integrated signal processing for real-time simulation of human excitable cells. Integration in a high throughput (384 channel), automated patch clamp instrument will enable direct electric coupling of biological cells and in-silico simulation and delivering a screening platform for drug effects on ion channels, enabling drug function and safety assessment by combining in-silico and in-vitro assay technologies.
