Post-doc in Paper-Based Diagnostics
The group is looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position to work on an exciting and ambitious research on biomarker preconcentration in paper-based analytical devices.
​
Point-of-care testing devices enable rapid, affordable, and widely accessible diagnosis, but their limited sensitivity makes them inappropriate for the diagnosis of early-stage diseases. To address this ongoing technological challenge, this EPSRC-funded project aims to introduce a radically new concept for biomarker preconcentration by exploiting colloid transport mechanisms based on interfacial and electrokinetic phenomena.
​
The position is due to commence in October 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter. The post is fixed term for 18 months.
​
The research will be run in close collaboration with Global Access Diagnostics – a leading developer of lateral flow assays and rapid diagnostic technologies.
