About this position

This fully funded PhD project, “Worms on a Chip: Automated C. elegans Biosensing for Rapid Antimicrobial Resistance Diagnostics,” will develop a microfluidic platform for rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

The research uses the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a whole-organism biosensor. The project will combine microfluidics, biosensing, automation and microbiology to create an approach for faster antimicrobial resistance diagnostics and susceptibility assessment.

The PhD is hosted by the Particle Microfluidics group and Nguyen T. K. Thanh’s group at UCL Chemistry and The Royal Institution. It is being conducted in partnership with D-Tails SB, an Italian deep-tech company, giving the project an industrial collaboration dimension and a focus on real-world diagnostic applications.

The position is part of the EPSRC & BBSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Engineering Solutions to Antimicrobial Resistance, providing a research environment at the intersection of physical chemistry, biomedical engineering, microfluidics and antimicrobial resistance research.
