Description de l'offre
Many activities of Leti-Health focused on point of care (POC) devices. In particular, this project aims at developing POC device based on smart paper to detect viruses and bacteria in biological samples. This device should prepare the sample and diagnose quickly the presence of infectious diseases by DNA amplification.
Based on our previous know-how, and thanks to his/her expertise, the post-doctoral fellow will take in charge the design, the manufacturing and the validation tests of paper POC device. (S)He will also work in close interactions with biologists and electrochemists for the further evaluation of the POC device (choice of DNA amplification method and type of printed-electrode…) to achieve a simple and fast diagnostic tools. The efficiency of diagnosis will be evaluated and compared to traditional reference methods.
