b'Key FindingsFROM NBIC WORKSHOPSBIOFILM DETECTIONUnmet needs:Rapid, in situ, point-of-use context for a range of new and emerging technologies.Biomarkers that are definitive for biofilms (e.g. blood, industrial fluids, other secondary media).To detect/characterise when a biofilm transitions from a healthy to an unhealthy or pathogenic state.To detect and confirm the presence of a biofilm in a standardised reproducible manner acceptable to regulatory agencies.BIOFILM MANAGEMENTUnmet needs:Challenges to overcome:I mproved models and methods for characterisation, Fundamental research on understanding biofilm visualisation and detection of biofilms: relevant (realbehaviour and control, to give us new leads and world context), standardised and accessible. insights is required. Improved cross-disciplinary collaboration (industry,Data centralisation and management.academia, regulators and cross-sectors). Clarification of pathways from industry regulators. NBIC has a leading role to play here.29'
