Projects for students

We are offering several exciting bachelor and master projects. The projects can combine molecular biology, protein purification, cell culture work and single molecule measurements. Both biology and chemistry students are encouraged to contact us for further details about the projects.

Single-molecule protein sequencing

To this day there is no single-molecule technique that allows the sequencing of proteins. This project aims at using nanopores to identify and eventually sequence single molecules.

Daily supervisor: r.c.a.versloot@rug.nl

Single-molecule analyte sensing

We have recently shown that nanopores with an internalised protein sensor can identify molecules (e.g. glucose) directly from a complex biological solution. This project aims at discovering new proteins, understand their function and eventually integrating them into electronic device for analyte detection.

If you are interested, please contact the daily supervisor or Prof. Giovanni Maglia (giovanni.maglia@rug.nl) directly
