Great news from the ERA-MIN 2 project SIDEREC ¡¡¡

Funded under the ERA-MIN 2 2018 call, SIDEREC (Siderophores assisted Biorecovery of Technology Critical Elements: Gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge) and indium (In) from end-of-life products) has achieved outstanding results — leading both to the creation of a start-up and to the publication of a high-impact scientific paper.

• The research team successfully identified siderophores with increased selectivity towards indium and germanium using efficient density functional theory (DFT) approaches.
• Read the publication: “Efficient density functional theory directed identification of siderophores with increased selectivity towards indium and germanium. Journal of Hazardous Materials 478 (2024) 135523”
• These results paved the way for a new start-up, turning innovative EU-funded research into real industrial and scientific impact.
