Title: Electrochemical biosensors based on graphene derivates
Study program: Biomedical Technology and Bioinformatics
Supervisor: Zdenka Fohlerová, PhD

Topic description:

Development of electrochemical biosensors based on 2D nanomaterials derived from graphene, specifically graphene acid and nitrogen-doped graphene acid. The potential applications of these graphene derivatives will be investigated for affinity and enzymatic biosensors targeting medically relevant analytes, such as cortisol and bacterial detection. The research aims to advance the development of point-of-care biosensors. This work is carried out in collaboration with the CATRIN Institute at Palacky University in Olomouc.

Your task:

  • Construction of enzymatic/affinity biosensor
  • Testing of various electrochemical methods such as CV, SWV, EIS for biosensor responses
  • Optimization of measurement conditions
  • Data processing and interpretation
  • Result publication

Requirements:

  • Interest in the development of biosensors for POCT application
  • Motivation and creativity
  • Work independently
  • Good communication and English skills

We offer:

  • A supportive and friendly work environment
  • Extensive experience in the development of biosensors
  • Publication in high – quality journals
  • Opportunity to apply for student projects to secure independent financial support
