The University of Oviedo brings two research experiences that are listed below:
Topic A: Development of immunoelectroanalytical devices for differential diagnosis of stroke
Under Dr. M. Teresa Fernandez Abedul, Dr. Estefania Costa Rama, and M.Sc. Pablo Rioboo Legaspi, the student will work in the development of a miniaturized and low-cost immunoelectrochemical device to determine a biomarker for differential diagnosis, ideally in prehospitalary settings such as ambulances. The student will be involved in the use of various analytical techniques, such as electrochemical and optical detection, as well as in the design, evaluation, and validation of bioassays (enzymatic, immunoassays…). The student will also learn fabrication techniques to produce said devices, such as 3D printing and computer-assisted cutting.
Topic B: Electroanalytical platforms for on-site monitoring of emerging contaminants
Under Dr. M. Teresa Fernandez Abedul, Dr. Estefania Costa Rama, and Dr. Maria Cerrato Alvarez, the student will work on developing electroanalytical methodologies aimed to determine emerging contaminants (e.g., pharmaceuticals, and sun filters) that require specific strategies for ensuring e.g., selectivity (thus, a recognition element should be included) or determination in non-aqueous matrixes (e.g., additives in oil, sun filters in creams), to obtain an analytical portable platform for field analysis. The student will be involved in the use of various electrochemical techniques for the development of appropriate analytical methodologies and will also learn fabrication techniques to develop the sensing platform, such as 3D printing.
