The scientific aim of this project is to use the phage display technique to isolate bacteriophage/peptide that specifically recognize C-reactive protein (CRP) – a marker of inflammatory processes in the human body - and use them as artificial antibodies for the differentiation between viral and bacterial infections

• Characterization of the new receptors (peptides/nanobodies) for C-reactive protein CRP recognition through utilization of electrochemical techniques and/or microscopic method in biological samples (e.g. human serum) – data analysis, writing reports
• Presenting at group meetings and conferences.
• Contribution to the efficient functioning of the lab including necessary administrative and organizational tasks.

We offer 2250 PLN per month stipend financed from the NSC SONATA 13 Project No. 2017/26/D/ST5/00980. The position is for a period of 2 months. We offer work in an interdisciplinary team the Surface Nanoengineering for chemo- and bio-sensors Group from IPC PAS.

The successful candidate will benefit in the form of new knowledge and methods added to his/her toolbox. The project deals with physical chemistry, physics, biotechnology, and molecular biology so any candidate profile will find some new knowledge to be gained upon the realisation of the project.
