The reason for the collaboration between IQ Biozoom and FMUC is the desire to carry out joint research projects in the area of non-invasive diagnostics, particularly the development of a biosensor for monitoring cortisol and other steroid hormones levels in saliva.

The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Coimbra (FMUC) is a leader in conducting innovative research, especially in the fields of biomedicine, regenerative cell medicine, and diagnostics. With its modern infrastructure, it develops breakthrough solutions, such as advanced diagnostic methods and personalized therapies, contributing to a significant improvement in treatment effectiveness and patients' quality of life in Europe.

"The prospect of a joint research project based on the highly interesting technology developed by IQ Biozoom, which is at the forefront of contemporary science today, has greatly interested us. We are eager to engage in the clinical validation of the new technology, especially concerning the current important issue of stress and non-invasive cortisol monitoring," comments Inês Rosendo, clinician and research staff at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra.
