Undergraduate/Master Student Position in Smart Nano-Bio-Devices (Ref. MSE-SS)

Application Deadline: 30/12/2018
Ref: MSE-SS
The nanodevices group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for an Undergraduate or Master Student to participate in projects on Biosensors for personalized biomedical diagnostics. The group develops low cost and portable sensors to non-invasively detect disease-related bio-analytes (proteins, amino acids, electrolytes, etc.) and help monitor the evolution of pathological conditions.
The student involved in this project will contribute to the development of electrochemical and/or colorimetric biosensors aimed at monitoring a rare hereditary disease contained in body fluids such as blood, urine, and sweat. A fully integrated sensing platform will be achieved by implementing the readout in smartphone-based technology.

El nuevo grupo del IBEC crea ‘mapas de impacto’ de mutaciones genéticas

El otoño llega al IBEC con la incorporación de la Dra. Benedetta Bolognesi a la comunidad, uniéndose al instituto como investigadora principal junior.

Benedetta viene del Centro de Regulación Genómica de Barcelona, donde fue postdoc en los grupos de Ben Lehner y Gian Gaetano Tartaglia. En el IBEC, dirigirá el grupo recientemente fundado Protein Phase Transitions in Health and Disease.

Durante su postdoc, Benedetta se centró en estudiar por qué ciertos genes son tóxicos cuando se sobreexpresan. Ella descubrió que, en algunos casos, causan toxicidad porque las proteínas que codifican terminan formando una fase líquida diferente en el citoplasma.
