PhD in Aptamer-Based Biosensing Platform for Nanoplastic and Biotoxin Co-Exposure Monitoring Monash University Malaysia in Malaysia

PhD opportunity at Monash University Malaysia in an interdisciplinary project on aptamer-based biosensing for monitoring nanoplastic and biotoxin co-exposure as a human exposome surveillance platform. The project aims to address a major gap in exposome research by developing a continuous biosensing platform that can detect and quantify nanoplastics and biotoxins directly in the human microenvironment. The work involves aptamer selection and validation (SELEX), binding kinetics analysis, optimisa...

Postdoc in Environmental Chemistry / Gut Microbiology at the University of Bern, Switzerland. This is a 100% fixed-term postdoctoral position in an interdisciplinary project titled “Microbial Degradation of Arsenobetaine in the Human Gut: Implications for Dietary Arsenic Exposure and Risk Assessment.” The work sits across the Institute of Geography, the Institute for Infectious Diseases, and the Department for BioMedical Research in Bern. The project is led by Prof. Adrien Mestrot (soil biogeoch...

[3-year studentship; full Home tuition fees plus a stipend of £19,830 per annum at the 2026-27 rate.] University of Plymouth is offering a fully funded 3-year PhD studentship in Medical Studies for the project SHIELD: Systematic Assessment of Hepatic Micro- and Nanoplastic Accumulation and Clearance in Liver Disease . This project tackles an important and emerging problem in environmental hepatology: how micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) accumulate, persist, and are cleared from the liver, and whet...
