Microfluidic devices can achieve high sensitivity and receive results rapidly in diseases diagnosis. As one example of their broad applications, microfluidic devices have the potential in rapid identification of bacteria in patients’ biological samples. This can help physicians prescribe appropriate antibiotics quickly, enabling improved treatment and avoiding overuse of antibiotics. The project to be carried out in the Institute for Bioengineering at the University of Edinburgh is going to develop microfluidic devices for efficient, sensitive, and fast detection of bacteria.
To undertake this research, we are seeking a highly motivated candidate with established hands-on experience in chemical engineering, materials, or biology.
