Meet our secondees Bettina Glahn Martínez
🌎Meet our secondees: Bettina Glahn Martínez from 🇪🇸 to 🇺🇸 UCSB. Bettina is involved in the develop of novel biosensing also based on optical fibers and the combination with electrochemiluminescence
🇪🇸 =>🇺🇸
Meet our secondees Jurre Steens
🌎Meet our secondees: Jurre Steens from 🇳🇱 to 🇮🇹 Nano-ImmunoERA. Jurre will bring his expertise about type III CRISPR-Cas and will work on integration of this technology (🇳🇱 => 🇮🇹)
Jurre obtained a Master’s degree in Medical Biotechnology at the Wageningen University, he is currently doing a PhD in the Laboratory of Microbiology in the Bacterial Genetics group of Prof. John van der Oost under the supervision of Asoc. Prof. Raymond Staals and Prof. John van der Oost.
The research focusses on fundamental type III CRISPR-Cas biology with an emphasis on the molecular mechanisms and biochemistry. Besides this, the fundamental knowledge is being leveraged for application in nucleic acid diagnostics. As co-founder and CTO of the Wageningen University spin-off Scope Biosciences, he focusses on bringing point-of-use diagnostics to the market.
In Nano-ImmunoEra he is involved in bringing expertise about type III CRISPR-Cas and will work on integration of this technology into the project.
Meet our secondees Yemataw Addis Alemu
🌎Meet our secondees: Yemataw Addis Alemu from 🇮🇹 to 🇿🇦 Nano-ImmunoERA. Yemataw reserch will be focus on the nanomaterial-based inks electrodes production (🇮🇹 => 🇿🇦)
Yemataw Join Master Degree in Chemical Innovation and Regulation form University of Bologna and University of Algarve in 2017. The thesis entitled “Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Evaluation of Zinc (II) Complexes with Phenanthroline Derivatives and S-Methyl Dithiocarbazate Schiff Bases “ under the supervision of Prof. Isabel Cavaco and Prof. Isabel Correia. In 2020, he was granted a PhD scholarship in Chemistry at University of Bologna under the supervision of Prof. Luca Prodi and Prof. Giovanni Valenti.
Yemataw’s research work focused on design, synthesis and characterization of a different family of dye doped-nanoparticles and study of their photophysical and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) properties for bioanalytical applications.
