Working Groups
WG1
Paving the Way for the Future of Standardisation of Biofilm Technologies
WG1 evaluates existing and emerging biofilm technologies, including 3D-printed devices, to identify models suitable for regulatory standardization. By collaborating with biotech companies, it develops methods to modernize biofilm regulatory science tools and support global innovation.
Group leader
James Redfern
Deputy Head of Department, Reader and Microbiologist at The Manchester Metropolitan University
Vice-leader
Carolina Ripolles-Avila
Associate Professor (PSH), Department of Animal and Food Science, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)
Objectives:
- Screening of available methods for biofilm analysis and publication of a review or perspective article (D3, D4, D5).
- Screening of biofilm-forming platforms (models), publication of a review article (D3, D4, D6).
- Selection of high-field applicability methods for this network (WG1 and WG2) (D3, D4, D7).
- Selection of the most relevant models for growing biofilms for discussions in WG2 (D3, D4, D8).
- Joint discussions and meetings with Biotechnology companies on developing relevant technologies applicable to biofilm research (D3, D4, D9).
- Arranging the meetings necessary in order to plan, conduct and coordinate the above activities.
