PhD in interdisciplinary study programmes

We are developing so-called lab-on-chip technology (or microfluidic technology) for applications across the life sciences and biomedicine./nFor a third-party funded project, running for four years, we are offering a PhD position and a postdoctoral position./nThe project RadiantDx is a multidisciplinary, collaborative project that addresses the diagnosis of sepsis./nWe will develop a miniaturized system for rapid diagnosis of sepsis, which prevents unnecessary administration of antibiotic compounds and leads to improved survival and recovery of the patients./nTogether with researchers from the Institute of Medical Microbiology at the University of Zurich, the Department of Informatics at ETHZ and several further partners, we address the challenge by the combining microfluidic technology, sequencing and fast data analysis./nIn the Bioanalytics Group, a PhD student and a postdoctoral fellow will work together on different aspects of the microfluidic platform and sample preparation.
