About the Project

This project is aimed at developing an optical biosensor integrated with electric field driven sample processing [1,2]. The biosensor will be used to test clinical samples for a range of disease conditions.

The student will gain skills in electroseparation methods, hydrogels, microfluidics/ lab-on-chip, immunosensing, optical sensors, instrumentation and image processing. The student will be based in Dr Ruchi Gupta’s group (https://rguptagrouplab.com/) in the School of Chemistry at University of Birmingham. The student will work alongside PDRAs, PhD students and collaborators in Medical School and Biosciences.

For informal enquiries please contact Dr Ruchi Gupta at [Email Address Removed]. Please include a CV and transcripts in your email.

Degree Requirements:
Applicants should possess (or expect to possess) a good degree in physical sciences or engineering or allied disciplines.
