About The Position

The candidate will be engaged in research seeking to design, fabricate and deploy microneedle wearable sensors. Specifically, the candidate will be tasked with producing a microneedle-based sensing device able to measure molecular transport of clinical targets from blood to the dermis interstitial fluid. To do this, the candidate must build wearable patches with microscopic microneedles to access the interstitial fluid in the skin and modify the needles with sensing chemistries developed by the laboratory. The candidate’s work will help us understand the extent, and speed, with which important molecular targets navigate to the dermis.

Requirements

• Experience in designing, fabricating, and deploying microneedle wearable sensors.
• Ability to produce a microneedle-based sensing device.
• Skill in building wearable patches with microscopic microneedles.
• Proficiency in accessing interstitial fluid in the skin.
• Experience in modifying microneedles with sensing chemistries.

Responsibilities

• Design, fabricate, and deploy microneedle wearable sensors.
• Produce a microneedle-based sensing device to measure molecular transport from blood to dermis interstitial fluid.
• Build wearable patches with microscopic microneedles.
• Access interstitial fluid in the skin.
• Modify microneedles with sensing chemistries.
