In this internship, UNS-Tech will partner with Profs. Cynthia Goh and David
McMillen to use UNS-Tech’s electronic detection technology to detect molecules,
including proteins, polymer nanoparticles and DNA, that are of interest in their
research. UNS-Tech’s state-of-the-art electronics-based detectors for HPLC and
gel electrophoresis will be employed in Prof. Goh’s and Prof. McMillen’s labs,
respectively. Head-to-head tests between UNS-Tech’s technologies and stateof-
the-art detection will be conducted, the results will be analyzed and the
findings will be published in scientific journals. The interns will benefit from this
internship by gaining tremendous knowledge of electronics-based detection and
beta testing of electronic detectors. The host company will benefit by having an
opportunity to beta test its technology in a cutting-edge application and to
evaluate its electronic detectors against present art detectors, hopefully proving
superiority over present art detectors. The supervisor will benefit by having
access to state-of-the-art detection technology that will enhance the performance
of their HPLC and gel electrophoresis.
