Developing functional surfaces for biosensing and drug discovery

Expected schedule
2-5 days a week (depends on your schedule), min. 2-3 hours/day

Description & Tasks
You will work on 2 projects.
1. Drug discovery and search for protein binders. For this project, you will:Prepare polymer-based Droplet Micro Arrays (DMAs)- Conduct chemical, photochemical and biochemical reaction in micro- and nanoliter-sized droplets
- Measure samples by UV-Vis and protein assays
- Organize sample measurement by MALDI, ToF-SIMS, HPLC, LC-MS and more2. Modification of electrodes for development of highly sensitive biosensors, which will allow to diagnose Covid-19 and other popular pathogens quickly and easily. For this project, you will:- Coating electrodes on glass chips with nanoparticles (using spray/spin coater) and modify its chemical properties by conducting (photo)chemical reactions
- Investigate surfaces by IR microscope and WCA machine
- Organize sample measurements by means of microscopy and moreYour profile
- You are a student in chemistry or chemical biology
- You are friendly and well-organized
- Ideally, you are interested in long-term work with us :-)About our group
We are an international group of people who work on Chemistry and drug design, 3D printing and bioprinting and Cellular biology & oncologyWhere you will work
Our lab is located in KIT Campus Nord. It’s a bit far from city center, but we have cool brand-new labs and great food in canteen. :-)Contact
