As a doctoral student, you will work jointly with interns, M.Sc., Ph.D. and postdoc in the study of DNA with a combination of characterization techniques in solution and on substrates. These experiments will provide information on DNA affinity, as well as sensitivity and stability. Your research project will provide you with training and development in:

- Solution based techniques (fluorescence, UV-vis, calorimetry, etc.)
- Surface techniques (SPR and electrochemistry)
- Biomolecule modification, characterization and purification
- Programming, computational chemistry and machine learning
