Prof Bernd Rehm Applications accepted all year round Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

About the Project

Sensitive and specific detection of serum antibodies is often used to diagnose infections. This project aims to develop a simple qualitative/quantitative device for detection of antibodies of interest. It will involve protein engineering of protein switches to incorporate antigens. Binding of the antibodies to the antigens will activate the protein switch which will result in release of a signal.
