PhD Studentship: Abnormality Detection in Diffusive Molecular Nano-Networks

The recent progress in nanotechnology has motivated researchers to study the concept of nano-communication networks, i.e. networks that enable communication between nano-scale devices. Since one of the main deployment areas of nano-scale machinery is expected to be in healthcare related applications within the human body, conventional methodologies for wireless communication involving radio frequency transmission are considered as impractical for such networks due to physical constraints of both the propagation channel and the nanoscale nodes. Molecular communication, inspired by the naturally evolved communication mechanisms between biological entities at this physical scale, is a very promising cutting-edge approach to this problem, where dedicated molecules are employed as information carriers.

University of Sussex, UK

Health monitoring can be counted amongst the most highly-anticipated applications of nano-scale networks, since this technology presents the potential to enable a quantum jump in the early detection capabilities of potentially lethal diseases and disorders. In this context, the problem of abnormality detection, i.e. the early and accurate detection and reporting of abnormal changes in the environmental parameters that may characterize the presence of a disease or disorder, represents one of the key challenges.

The main aim of this project is to investigate the abnormality detection problem in nano-scale networks employing molecular communication. The research will be focusing on the development of system models for the abnormality detection problem in the molecular communication channel, and on the design of novel communication and signal processing strategies for the detection task, taking into account the energy, memory and processing power restrictions of the nano-scale nodes. Performance analysis of the proposed schemes will be carried out analytically and/or via simulations.

Master Scholarships in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Erasmus Mundus, Europe

Four leading educational institutions in Europe offer a joint Erasmus Mundus Master of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (EMM-Nano). The programme offered is a truly integrated one, with a strong research backbone and a very important international outreach. The objective of this course is to provide top quality multidisciplinary education in nanoscience and nanotechnology.

The EMM-nano is a two-year, 120 ECTS, English language degree programme. Thanks to its combination of partners, expertise and courses, it offers you a unique integrated master programme, covering all aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology, while at the same time allowing you to design an individual study programme with specialization in essentially any field of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

It facilitates studying at two separate participating universities where you spend one year per country. It is strongly multidisciplinary: you receive a basic training in all the disciplines offered, one of which becomes your area of specialisation. At the end of the program you will receive a joint degree from the two universities where you studied. The fast evolution of the field requires a strong consortium with noted educational experience in the field.

The educational partner institutions are

  • Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (K.U.Leuven), Belgium (Coordinator)
  • Chalmers Tekniska Högskola (Chalmers), Sweden
  • Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble, France
  • Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden), Germany

PhD Scholarships in Organic Synthesis & Polymer Chemistry, DTU Nanotech, Denmark

Two full PhD scholarships are offered by the CBIO group at the Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (DTU Nanotech). The CBIO group has extensive collaboration with several Pharma and Medico companies in Denmark and the positions will be part of these collaborations. The positions are part of a larger effort in development of synthetic gene delivery systems at the forefront of nanomedicine research.

Position 1: Surface engineering of nanoparticles
One of the major tasks in the development of nanoparticle systems for both drug delivery and diagnostic applications is controlled surface functionalization and surface coating. We need to develop multienveloped systems where modern synthetic chemistry is a highly important tool. There is furthermore a need to develop new synthetic tools for the quantification of the biomolecular functionalization and to characterize how this is influenced by nanoparticle surface chemistry and morphology. This position is open to a student with a background in organic synthesis or polymer chemsitry.

Position 2: Biodegradable transfection systems
Current cellular transfection strategies of DNA/RNA utilize cationic lipid and polymer systems (polyplexes) that show cellular toxicity and are thus unsuitable for in vivo use. There is a need to develop new biodegradable polymer systems that are less toxic to cells. This PhD project is focused on the synthesis of new polymers for lowering the toxicity without hampering the transfection efficiency. One part of the project is focused on fluorescent labeling of the polyplexes to conduct cellular trafficking and organelle localization experiments. The successful candidate will have a background in synthetic organic chemistry or polymer chemistry.

Qualifications
Candidates should have a master`s degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master`s degree in engineering.
