smart analytics network

A competence network for intelligent analytical methods

There are numerous innovative and yet untapped development and application potentials in the field of analytics. Within the smart analytics network, new partnerships will be initiated to create synergy effects to develop innovative product ideas and new application perspectives for analytical technologies.

The international cooperation project “smart analytics” was launched in May 2020 - initially limited to one and a half years. In the meantime, an active ZIM cooperation network within 15 companies, 11 national research partners and 5 international partners from France and Austria has been established under the leadership of BioRegio STERN Management GmbH and the foreign coordinator, ISOCS (International Society for Olfaction and Chemical Sensing). The network offers the participating partners ideal conditions for receiving funding from the BMWK for innovative research and development projects. So far, research and development projects from the STERN BioRegion with a volume of almost two million euros were launched in the first project phase. Many more promising projects are in the pipeline.

The "Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (ZIM)" will continue to fund the smart analytics network until November 2024.

Smart analytics - Goals

Establish international competence network for highly innovative analytical processes
Develop new analytical methods & applications for health care / industry / research
Promote national and international cooperation (SME-SME; SME-RTO)
Create synergy effects through new technology combinations (AI, ICT, analytics, sensors)
Unfold new application potential through automation and intelligent evaluation
Use digital networking / AI / data platforms for new value creation strategies

"By participating at the trinational study course of the École supérieure de Biotechnologie de Strasbourg, I was able to gain first international study experience. After graduating with a diploma thesis in the area of Virology and Gene Therapy at the University of Michigan, I developed a DNA microarray for rapid antibiotic resistance detection during my doctorate at the Institute of Technical Biochemistry in Stuttgart. The following ten years I worked in the product and marketing management in the field of diagnostics at Greiner Bio-One GmbH, which produces multiplex analytical methods for use in food safety, human diagnostics and product safety in the pharmaceutical industry. Starting January 2017 at the BioRegio STERN Management GmbH, I will use my international experience in the development, application and marketing of biotechnological methods to network, attend and support companies in the medtech and biotech industry in the region. As project manager I support the regional companies’ prospects for automated applications and the development of new products."

„I completed my master’s degree in biology at the University of Hohenheim. During my internship at Greiner Bio-One GmbH, I gained a working knowledge of the operations of the various departments in the company. This gave me an understanding of the entire development process of products for specific applications in medical, pharmaceutical and biotechnological research and industry. Afterwards, I wrote my thesis at the Institute for Membrane Physiology in collaboration with Greiner Bio-One GmbH. During this time, I characterised magnetic nanoparticles, which represent a model system for creating 3D cell cultures, and investigated their influence on cellular parameters. Since February 2018, I have been working at BioRegio STERN Management GmbH, where I support the project management team on national projects.“
