TropIQ Health Sciences and HAN University of Applied Sciences have secured funding through the Biotech Booster program and Health~Holland's SME call to develop an improved alternative to DEET.
Over the next two years, the partners will combine TropIQ's expertise in mosquito- and tick-borne diseases and machine learning with HAN's applied chemistry research to develop new solutions for protection against diseases such as malaria, West Nile virus and Lyme disease.
The project highlights how collaboration between innovative companies and knowledge institutions can help turn scientific research into practical solutions.
