Prof. Marina Resmini
	Professor of Materials Chemistry Queen Mary, University of London Queen Mary is one of the largest multi-faculty colleges of the University of London with over 11,500 UK/European and international students studying in four faculties which include the School of Medicine and Dentistry. The School of Biological and Chemical Sciences [new window] comprises nearly 60 members of academic staff whose research interests cover the whole spectrum of biological and chemical sciences, with internationally-acclaimed work in fields including evolutionary biology, genetics, protein structure and function and molecular synthesis and catalysis. The School is well appointed with a range of spectroscopic and analytical equipment including: extensive NMR facilities, EPR, mass spectrometry and X-ray facilities UV-Vis spectrophotometer spectrofluorimeter polarimeter electrochemical equipment extensive HPLC (analytical and preparative) and GC equipment.

	Prof. Karsten Haupt
	Centre National de Recherche Scientifique CNRS is hosted in Compiègne University of Technology (CNRS), a modern university in France's Picardy region with strong activities in applied research and very close contacts to industry. CNRs' excellent relations with industry are reflected in the large sums of industry funding attracted by the university each year, in addition to regional, national and European funding. Moreover, the so-called Transfer Centre , which is part of the university, manages industry contacts and industrial projects, and hosts an incubator for start-up companies created on the basis of technologies developed by scientists at CNRS. A nanobiotechnology research and training platform has been created and funded, that brings together relevant equipment (2 AFM, ESEM, nanoindenter, confocal microscope, interference microscope, nanomachining equipment, microfluidics, solid-state NMR, LC-ESI-MS, CE, GC) and technical services, as well as research institutes (biomaterial engineering department, biotechnology department, mechanical engineering department) and the scientists involved.

	POLYINTELL SA POLYINTELL is a private company, founded in July 2004 based of skill of successful Scientifics in Rouen (France). Thanks to its innovations, POLYINTELL is the winner of the Contest of Innovative and Technological Companies of the French Ministry of Research & Technology and the ESF. POLYINTELL was awarded for the third Special Prize of the national jury of the Contest of Innovative and Technological Companies of the French Ministry of Research & Technology. We have special competency on the development of innovative polymers for applications in life and pharmaceutical sciences. AFFINIMIP™ are molecularly imprinted polymers. These new polymeric materials are able to mimic the selective binding sites of antibodies and enzymes. AFFINIMIP™ have comparable selectivity to immuno-sorbent with the advantage of thermal and chemical stability. AFFINIMIP™ can be prepared in several formats: monolith or polymer block powder with desired size ranges nano-particles attached to surface In situ AFFINIMIP™ bring the solution for selective extraction, separation and specific clean-up of closely related molecules including enantiomers. HYDROIntelligent™ are tailor-made smart polymers: Chemical or physical hydrogels Stimuli-responsive polymers: their structure and physical properties can change in response to external signals and environmental conditions such as pH, temperature and chemical changes Functional and smart coatings Our organisation relies on a strong in-house know-how and scientific expertise: organic chemistry, analytical chemistry and polymer chemistry combined with reactivity and flexibility, to tackle new technological challenges. We have different partnership with leading scientists from European research centre. email: contact@polyintell.com [new window] Website: http://www.polyintell.com/index_uk.htm [new window]
