We are seeking applications for the post of Project Assistant/ Associate and
Research Associate for the project titled “ Minimally invasive mobile healthcare
platform for Glycated Hemoglobin” . The abstract of the project is given below.
Abstract:
The project is intended to demonstrate mobile based healthcare platform for
glycated haemoglobin (GHb) and haemoglobin (Hb) comprising paper based
colorimetric sensors in conjunction with mobile ported image processing
algorithms for extracting concentration information from the image of the
sensor(s). Unlike detection of Hb which is relatively straightforward, detection of
GHb involves isolation of the same from Hb. Boronic acid moieties are known to
bind to glycated hemoglobin and their interaction results in a local change in the
pH. Using pH sensitive colorimetric, boronic acid modified nanofibers, isolation
and detection of glycated hemoglobin can be carried out simultaneously. The
proposed methodology is envisioned to give the reading with a camera click in a
mobile app and is devoid of any interferences. The proposed work inherently has
two products – one for hemoglobin and one for percentage glycated hemoglobin.
Hb sensor can potentially be a traiging tool for rural health care to detect anemia.
There are two posts in this project. The details of eligibility are given below.
Project Assistant/Associate:
The primary responsibility here is the development of paper based device for
hemoglobin and glycated hemoglobin.
Eligibility Criteria
1. B.Tech in ECE/ Biotech/Biomed with a minimum of 70%
2. Experience of 2 years in B.Tech or a fresh M.Tech in ECE/ Nanotechnology
3. Should have interest in the development of sensors.
Salary: As per project norms
Duration: 3 months initially extendable to an year
