19-12-2022 microfluidic image analysis for single cell or single molecule analysis
Microfluidic singe cell (mother machine) or single molecule analysis (synthetic biology essays in cell-free reaction droplets) are powerful platforms allowing acurate biomedical quantification of pathogenic load and bacteria phenotypes. However, these methods are only available in few leading labs in the worlds. In this project, we will explore the use of the open flexure microscope and potentially 3d printed syringe pumps to open up the workflow for many more users. This requires biological lab work at the IIBM including some software testing and or improvent.

11-12-2022 Optimisation of an automated stage to deposit microfluidic droplets for bio applications
Microfluidic droplet sorting allows the experimental handling of millions of molecular biology experiments in one day. To further culture cells in droplets, they need to be collected and individualised, which can be done in a well plate or culture plate. In this project, the aim is to optimise such a droplet deposition system using prototyping methods, examples from the literature and software development in python.

13-06-2022 Microfluidic droplet experiments for single cell microbial genomics of pathogens
This projects in in the context of an ongoing research collaboration and focuses on experiments using cutting edge microfluidic technology for single cell genomics. This helps us answer important questions about bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Some prior molecular biology or microbiology knowledge (such as how to work with a pipette) is required for the participation in this project.
