- Additional information
- Findings have led to >£1.5Million in UK defence funding (contact: Tim Foat, DSTL) to develop the technologies as a potential system to protect the lives of military and civilian personnel from airborne biological threats. Developments arising from this study include international collaboration with the Canadian Defence force, DASA funding (£100K) supporting emerging impact, enhanced infection prevention and control monitoring in hospital settings and monitoring of environmental plant and animal diseases. Recently the aerosol collection technology presented secured a further £20K from Research England funded Agri-tech CERES proof of concept scheme for developing an airborne spore detection device.
