About the Project
Applications are invited for postgraduate research leading to a PhD degree in Biomedical Engineering, focusing on Biosensor Technologies.
Biosensors have shown great potential in understanding and managing various ailments. For example, glucose sensors for diabetes have significantly improved users' quality of life. By designing biological sensors using synthetic and/or electronic systems, we can advance health monitoring worldwide.
This research aims to develop technologies that enhance the detection of menstrual disorders, with the potential to monitor health more effectively.
The project will be conducted at the Institute for BioEngineering (IBioE). The student will acquire skills in biomaterial design, fabrication, and characterization using techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, nano-indentation, mechanical property testing, ELISA, and real-time RT-PCR. These skills are essential for pursuing industrial careers in the biomedical sector and are valuable for an academic career in Biomedical Engineering.
Eligibility:
To undertake this research, we are seeking a motivated candidate with an honors degree at 2:1 or above in any of these areas, chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science, physics, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, synthetic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology or a related discipline.
