LAMP-based biosensors for detection of GMO in agriculture

LABOUR project aims to develop and manufacture specific, sensitive, fast, cost-effective and precise LAMP-based biosensors for point-of-need (PON) detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture.

Highly specific detection of genetic modifications (GMs) in four agricultural cultures (maize, soybean, wheat and rapeseed) will be achieved by a multidisciplinary approach that combines molecular diagnostic tools with cutting-edge sensor solutions.

This project is supported by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia DEVELOPMENT Program – Green program of cooperation between science and industry, grant agreement No. 6710.
