Research Area:
Biosensors for the detection of biomolecules at the point-of-care
Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
This collaborative research project involves engineers and a biochemist from the University of Sydney and Padova University (Italy) and aims to develop a new class of biosensors with potential applications in medical, food and agriculture. The project aims to design a miniaturised cascade sensor for detection of biomolecules particularly enzymes at point-of-care.
In this project the candidate will acquire experience in electrochemistry, polymer chemistry, engineering, advanced manufacturing, and biochemistry to develop miniaturised sensors for biological systems. The candidate will work with prominent researchers and will have access to excellent advanced manufacturing facilities at the University of Sydney.
Further information:
Suitable for students with a background in expertise in electrochemistry or sensors. Having knowledge of biochemistry particularly enzymatic reactions is desirable in this project.
