“Detectia” competes for funding

Detectia is CEDENNA’s new company in formation that will produce and sell pathogen sensors, and it is taking part in the Fill the Gap competition of Hub APTA, a program aimed at accelerating the negotiation and commercialization of technologies.
Detectia begins its work with the sensor for Listeria monocytogenes (a bacterium that contaminates food and causes serious infections), a project on which researchers Juan Luis Palma, Sebastián Michea, Rafael Freire and Macarena Varas have worked.
The spin-off in formation will also apply to the competition of the project incubator The Ganesha LAB.
