Startup from the Córdoba Technology Park receives 250,000 euros for an innovative device to detect pathogens in greenhouses

The company Tiaris Biosciences, led by Tania García and Fé García, has been one of the 16 Spanish SMEs financed by the CDTI through the NEOTEC program for companies run by women . Based in the Córdoba Technology Park , it has received a grant of 250,000 euros to develop an innovative device capable of detecting the presence of agricultural pathogens in crops in situ, especially in greenhouses .

The project aims to offer an effective method to identify pathogens early and prevent their spread, thereby reducing economic losses in the agricultural sector. The device uses molecular techniques similar to PCR, standing out for its precision and ability to detect multiple pathogens simultaneously. According to Fé García, co-founder of the company, their specialization in these techniques allows them to provide a more sensitive and specific solution than those currently on the market.
