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...
