Biomagsens is a RTD project
funded in the frame of the
call
IST-NMP-2 Bio-sensors for Diagnosis and
Healthcare.
The aim of the project is to develop a new generation of
ultra-sensitive magnetic sensors with very low noise based on magnetic tunnel
junctions for Diagnosis and Healthcare applications. These elements will first
be used to develop hybrid sensors able to detect femtoTesla fields for magnetic
imaging of the human body, mainly heart and brain. Secondly, we will develop the
next generation of magnetic based biochips. Finally we will explore a new
approach for biochips based on fluctuating particles localized in space by
dipolar reconstruction

The consortium is composed of three research and development institutes,
a small enterprise and a large scale industry.
The main outputs of this project will be reliable, highly
sensitive magnetic sensors for very different applications, hybrid sensors for
femtoTesla field detection, a magneto-cardiographic (MCG) device, a new
generation of magnetic based biochips and quantitative evaluation of dipolar
reconstruction methods at the micron length scale.
