| Detection of Causative Bacterial Infections in Mastitic Dairy Cows Using SERS based Lab-On-Chip |
The suggested research specifically addresses the most prevalent health problem in dairy cows and major problem for the dairy industry worldwide. Our proposed multidisciplinary approach is based on an innovative combination of new nanomaterials with sensitive, specific and robust capture probes to build an integrated platform, “lab-on-chip”, for label-free biosensing of subclinical mastitis. The system will allow sensitive and rapid detection of milk samples' quality and safety outside laboratory boundaries using a simple and portable device.

| Portable Optical Biosensing Platform for Real-Time Environmental Screening of Water Bodies Pathogens |
The overall aim of this project is to develop an integrated optical biosensing platform for the on-site continuous detection of microbial load in water bodies. Specifically, the biosensing platform will be designed for the detection of predefined model bacteria by SERS mode, offering a unique spectral analysis of the overall waterborne contaminants.

| Optical microarray for mycotoxins detection |
Food and agricultural commodities contamination by various toxigenic conidial fungi is a seriously neglected problem, affecting ~25% of the world’s crops with staggering economic losses. Regardless of decades of extensive research, traditional detection methods are unable to perform rapid “real-time” on-site detection and are limited to laboratory boundaries. Herein, we'll fabricate and design a modified biosensing platform for label-free and highly sensitive detection and quantification of aflatoxins, using oxidized porous silicon (PSi), Fabry-Pérot thin film as an optical transducer element.

| Data-driven research of the effect of residents on Medfly distribution |
The spatial distribution and population dynamics of pests often extend beyond agro-ecosystems into other habitats surrounding the agricultural area. Of these, the urban dimension, due to its extensive development and increasing integration with agricultural lands, has an increasing contribution to the preservation and dissemination of agricultural pests. In this study, we will characterize the effect of settlements on the spatio-temporal dynamics of fruit fly populations in surrounding fruit orchards, using geostatistics, eco-informatics and spatio-temporal analyses of a large monitoring database. Our ultimate aim is to set the grounds for a pest control interface that will be applied to settlements in order to reduce the presence of pest flies in fruit orchards.
