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.

New IBEC group creates ‘fitness heatmaps’ of gene mutations

The start of the autumn semester finds a new face in IBEC’s research community, with Dr. Benedetta Bolognesi joining the institute as junior group leader.

Benedetta has come from Barcelona’s Centre for Genomic Regulation, where she was a postdoc in Ben Lehner’s and Gian Gaetano Tartaglia’s groups. At IBEC she will launch and lead the Protein Phase Transitions in Health and Disease group.

During her postdoc, Benedetta focused on why certain genes are toxic when over-expressed. She found that, in some cases, they cause toxicity because the proteins they code for end up forming a different liquid phase in the cytoplasm.
