PhD Project on the new CDT Engineering Solutions for Antimicrobial Resistance (Start Date Oct 2025)
A fully-funded PhD Projects is available in our group at University College London – Department of Chemistry.
The project is funded by the new EPSRC-BBSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Engineering Solutions for Antimicrobial Resistance.
​
Project Title: Developing nucleic acid amplification methods and electrokinetic lateral flow technology
​
​
​
Primary Supervisor: Dr Guido Bolognesi
Secondary Supervisor: Dr Micheal Booth
​​​​
This project aims to develop a novel lateral flow assay (LFA) device for urinary tract infection (UTI) diagnostics in primary care settings that combines the rapid, point-of-care analysis of dipsticks with the accuracy and breadth of diagnostic information provided by traditional, time-consuming laboratory techniques. To deliver this technological breakthrough, a novel enzyme-free DNA amplification strategy will be combined with a power-free electrokinetic amplification strategy in a LFA testing format.
