Postdoctoral Researcher - NanoBiosensors and Bioanalytical Applications Group

Description of Group/Project: NanoB2A group focuses on the development of novel nanobiosensor devices based on plasmonics, nanoplasmonics and silicon-based photonics principles, including surface biofunctionalization, microfluidics for automatic fluid delivery and complete lab-on-a-chip integration for point-of-care devices. The application of the nanobiosensor devices in real clinical diagnostics and environmental control is one of the Group’s main objectives. The Job is framed within a recent national granted project PLEC2021-007739  entitled Nanophotonic Biosensor for the Diagnosis and clinical management of bacterial infections at the Point of Care. The job will be essentially related to implementing the optical platform developed in the group for the defined target bioapplications, especially focusing on the research line of biofunctionalization and bioassays development. If you are interested in joining to a young, dinamyc and highly multidisciplinary team, with a highly innovative research project, this could be your opportunity.

Main Tasks and responsibilities:

The research technician will be involved in building a POC nanophotonic biosensor for multiplexed STI diagnostics with outstanding performance and user-frendly operation.

This includes tasks related to the design and engineering of a lab-on-a-chip system incorporating the novel multiplexed PIC BiMW sensors and innovative polymer microfluidic solutions, evaluation, nanophotonic chip chareacterization, microfluidics, and integration of required subsystems.
