Projects, Plasma and Machine Learning

Researchers at the University of La Rioja (UR) and Encore Lab have developed a mathematical model to estimate one-year survival probability in advanced pancreatic cancer patients using a simple blood test. This innovation, from Rocío del Campo Pedrosa’s doctoral thesis—the first Industrial Doctorate at UR—analyzes three common biomarkers: GGT, LDH, and monocytes. Key Features and …

The University of La Rioja (UR) has obtained two groundbreaking patents related to cold plasma applications, advancing agri-food and biomedical sectors. The center has also filed three more international patents, underscoring its leadership in plasma technology innovation. Key Innovations Highlighted This milestone boosts regional innovation, with cold plasma offering non-thermal decontamination for wine barrels and …

Fernando participated in the 2024 edition of the Pint of Science Festival in Logroño, where he gave an engaging talk about plasma and its applications in the agri-food and biomedical fields. His presentation explored how this state of matter can be harnessed for innovative solutions, sparking curiosity and discussion among attendees. You can watch the …

This technique, developed and demostrated in a doctoral thesis at the University of La Rioja, is more effective, durable and ecological that current disinfection methods, based on chemical compounds. So far, it has reduce biofilm formation by 50-85% from four of the most common bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) on different …
