Raman Quantification of Cancer Biomarkers for Early Lung Cancer

The intern will help Biomark Technologies to develop an new optical detection method, which is faster, less expensive and requires less expensive infrastructure by using Surface-Enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), which will be suited to large scale market adoption. By the end of project, the intern will develop: 1) a SERS detection platform that is low cost and optimized for AcAm detection; 2) a data extraction approach that improve the sensitivity towards clinically relevant levels. During the project, the intern will be trained in the industrially relevant areas of optical systems and analytical biochemistry.
