Laser against microorganisms. The research of scientists will help in health care and industry
Experts from the BIOCEV Centre (Faculty of Science at Charles University) and the HiLASE Centre (Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences) are working on the research as part of the LasApp project and the STAR Science and Technology Cluster.

Scientists are developing special surfaces that prevent microorganisms from adhering. Their surface communities, called biofilms, often contaminate medical equipment or damage industrial facilities. Experts from the Faculty of Science at Charles University's BIOCEV Centre and the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences at the HiLASE Centre are working on the research as part of the LasApp project and the STAR Science and Technology Cluster. The results of the unique collaboration between microbiologists and laser technology experts will be used in several fields..
