What is Molecular Sense?

Small Things in a Great Way

Molecular Sense is a research and development company in the field of bio-nanotechnology. Molecular Sense is presently pursuing two synergistic lines of activity: * Technical solutions, prototypes and devices for nanotechnology-enabled microarray technology; * Software products for the prediction of activity of biomolecules immobilised on surfaces. Molecular Sense develops new biomedical microdevices and biomaterials-relevant technical solutions based on the understanding of the interaction of individual biomolecules with nano-structured surfaces.
