Job Description: The successful candidate will focus on an original methodology that performs digital and multiplex microRNA detection. The workflow implies microparticle functionalization with DNA strands, droplet microfluidics, and next-gen sequencing. The candidate will build on the strong expertise of the laboratory on the conception and assembly of molecular programs made out of DNA oligonucleotides and enzymes, and capable of information-processing. The research activities imply literature review and data compiling, design, execute, and analyze experiments to validate the developed methods, present research findings at scientific conferences and publish research articles in peer-reviewed journals, collaborate with other researchers in the lab, and participate in lab meetings and discussions.
