Project goal: The main goal of the Know4Nano project is to strengthen the scientific excellence of the BioSense Institute in the field of BioNanoTechnology (BnT), particularly in the development of advanced biosensing platforms for food safety and environmental monitoring. Through carefully planned collaboration, mobility, and training, the project aims to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and skills from leading European institutions, enabling BioSense researchers to expand their expertise in nanomaterials, biosensors, microfluidics, and diagnostics.
About the project: The Know4Nano project brings together the BioSense Institute and three leading European research institutions with complementary expertise in the field of BioNanoTechnology (BnT). The objective is to advance scientific excellence of BioSense Institute by developing innovative biosensing platforms for real-life applications along the farm-to-fork food chain. The project establishes a structured knowledge transfer platform based on well-designed staff exchanges, training programmes, and collaborative research activities. By leveraging the advanced scientific knowledge and infrastructure of its partners, Know4Nano will significantly enhance BioSense Institute’s expertise in nanomaterials, biosensors, microfluidics, and food safety. The project also aims to boost the institute&#8217;s institutional capacity, raise its visibility in the European Research Area (ERA), and lay the foundation for long-term strategic collaborations.
The knowledge transfer will be driven through collaboration with three key partner institutions:
<ul>
<li>Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), Spain – with expertise in nanotechnology-based biosensors and microfluidics;</li>
<li>National Research Council (CNR), Italy – specialized in molecular sensing, optical biosensors, and food safety validation protocols;</li>
<li>University of Chemistry and Technology (VSCHT), Czech Republic – experts in nanomaterials synthesis, functionalization, and advanced materials characterization.</li>
</ul>
The cooperation will strengthen both research and administrative capacities at BIOS. It will support the establishment of a Technology Transfer Office (TTO), improve research management procedures, and increase the ability to translate scientific outcomes into practical innovations.
BioSense role on the project: By supporting the individual career advancement of researchers, Know4Nano will enhance the overall research capacity and reputation of BioSense Institute. In parallel, the project will significantly improve the institute’s research management and administrative capabilities, including the establishment of a Technology Transfer Office to support innovation, patenting, and commercialization efforts.

Dr Ljiljana Šašič Zorić je istraživač na BioSense Institutu sa stručnim znanjem u oblasti genetike. Ljiljana je doktorirala 2018. godine na Departmanu za biologiju i ekologiju, na Prirodno-matematičkom fakultetu Univerziteta u Novom Sadu. Posebno je orijentisana na primenu sekvenci mitohondrijalnih i nuklearnih molekularnih markera u genetičkim analizama, identifikaciji i razgraničavanju Evropskih vrsta insekata. Od 2016. godine sarađuje sa DNK laboratorijom Finskog Prirodnjačkog muzeja, Univerziteta u Helsinkiju, gde je stekla dodatno iskustvo u molekularnoj taksonomiji osolikih muva. Tokom 2017. godine, njeno istraživanje o uticaju endosimbiotskih bakterija na evolucionu dinamiku mitohondrijalnih gena stipendirano je od strane Entomološkog društva u Helsinkiju i Društva za zaštitutu flore i faune Finske. Njen projekat „Genomski pristup u proceni biodiverziteta osolikih muva - DNK barkoding nove generacije“ nagrađen je stogodišnjom jubilarnom stipendijom Entomološkog društva iz Helsinkija za 2019. godinu. Ljiljana je neformalni član tima za genetička istraživanja na Departmanu za biologiju i ekologiju, Prirodno-matematičkog fakulteta u Novom Sadu, kao i koordinator istraživačkih aktivnosti u Centru za bihejvioralna istraživanja Valentis, Bačka Palanka.

Ljiljana Janjušević PhD je naučni saradnik na BioSens institutu, Unirzitet u Novom Sadu, R. Srbija. Diplomske, master i doktorske studije završila je na Departmanu za biologiju i ekoloiju Prirodno-matmatičkog fakulteta Univerziteta u Novom Sadu. Tokom doktorskih studija fokus istraživanja je bio usmeren na ispitivanje biološke aktivnosti i hemijskog sastava makrogljiva kao i etarskih ulja nekih biljaka. Istraživanja na Institutu su usmerena na razvoj senzora i molekularnih tehnika za detekkciju patogena, biomoleularni inžnjering i ćelijsku poljoprivredu.

Biosenzori su analitički uređaji koji služe za detekciju biološkog materijala kao što su biomolekuli, biološke strukture ili mikroorganizmi (bakterije, virusi, alge, spore). Široku primenu biosenzori nalaze u kontroli bezbednosti hrane, monitoringu životne sredine, kao i u ranom otkrivanju infektivnih bolesti u biomedicini.

&nbsp;

Naša istraživanja su usmerena na razvoj novih biosenzorskih transdjusera, biofunkcionalizaciju senzora sa bioreceptorima, i integraciju senzora u mikrofluidične sisteme. Razvijeni senzori se koriste za detekciju bakterija u hrani i vodi, za detekciju cijano toksina nastalih tokom cvetanja algi, kao i za brzu detekciju fekalnih bakterija i drugih mikrobioloških patogena u vodi.

&nbsp;

Bavimo se i razvojem novih nanomaterijala za funkcionalizaciju biosenzorskih elektroda i fabrikaciju novih elektrohemijskih biosenzora koristeći različite tehnologije fabrikacije. Deo istraživanja je usmeren na nove materijale koji će omogućiti selektivno i efikasno vezivanje analita, kao i na projektovanje biosenzora u cilju poboljšanja njihove selektivnosti, osetljivosti i limita detekcije. Bavimo se i novim metodama modifikacije grafena, novim metodama za njegovu sintezu i integraciju u konvencionalne industrijske procese.

&nbsp;

Posebna pažnja je posvećena biosenzorima na bazi enzima, antitela i nukleinskih kiselina (DNK, RNK). Ova istraživanja se izvode u bliskoj saradnji sa Centrom za biosisteme u kojem istraživači rade na metodama biomolekularnog inženjerstva i molekularne dijagnostike što uključuje i najsavremenije izotermalne metode za umnožavanje nukleinskih kiselina kao što su LAMP (Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification) i RPA (Recombinase Polymerase Amplification) koje se mogu dobro kombinovati sa biosenzorima razvijenim u okviru Centra za senzorske tehnologije.

&nbsp;

Takođe, Institut BioSens radi na novim vrstama biosenzora za monitoring hranljivih materija i produkata metabolizma ćelija u procesu proizvodnje kultivisanog mesa, što je još jedan primer dobre multidisciplinarne saradnje sa Centrom za biosisteme i istraživačima koji rade u okviru oblasti ćelijske poljoprivrede.
