Developing biospectroscopy as a rapid point-of-care diagnostic for gastrointestinal disease

Description 
Spectroscopy, an analytical chemical technique is an attractive technique for analysing human disease. Biospecimens can be imaged label-free, without destruction and provide rapid, reproducible results. This project involves applying modalities of vibrational spectroscopy for various human gastrointestinal diseases to develop rapid point-of-care diagnostics for clinical management. The project will involve optimising portable bed-side spectrometer models for use on human biospecimens, learning data pre-processing and analysis techniques and modelling. Please contact me to discuss the project further.
