Research Technician - NanoBiosensors and Bioanalytical Applications | ICN2 - Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia

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 the implementation of proprietary nanophotonic biosensors for the different applications related to clinical diagnostics in the field of infectious diseases diagnosis and management, which includes the detection and quantification of different bacterial-related entities and monotoring of disease evolution. 

This will include the following tasks:

• Assessment of sensor chip surface chemistry and biofunctionalization strategies.
• Development and optimization of the biosensor analytical performance, including the evaluation of assay conditions, analytical characterization, stability and robustness studies, and final validation.

Deadline for applications: 17/03/2024
