Researcher Martín Resano presented the latest advances in the detection of the bacterium that causes Lyme disease during his participation as an invited speaker at the European Symposium on Analytical Spectrometry (ESAS 2024).

During his speech, Resano, principal investigator of the NanoLyme project, presented the latest developments in single event-ICP-MS spectrometry techniques and their practical application to detect the presence of Borrelia bacteria, even in minute concentrations. This bacterium is responsible for Lyme disease, an infection that can have serious health consequences if not detected and treated in time.

The NanoLyme project, funded by the Interreg Poctefa program, is developing innovative methods to improve the diagnosis of this disease. The ability to detect Borrelia bacteria in very small quantities represents a significant advance that could improve the accuracy and speed of diagnosis.

Resano's participation as an invited speaker at this European symposium demonstrates the interest of the international scientific community in the analytical techniques developed within the NanoLyme project.
