Our colleague Ana Carolina Pádua has participated in the event Startup Pirates - Hardware Edition 2015 where her team developed a business idea for the electronic nose being developed at our lab. This initiative took place in Lisbon last December 12 to 19 and the final pitch of her team has been awarded the 3rd jury prize!

The structure of the prototype proCAREotic was made using a 3D printer and the software simulates the diagnosis of a biological sample, showing the identified bacteria type on a LCD display.
