Thesis title: "Synthetic biology biosensor design for personalised diagnostics"Carried out research that focused on developing synthetic biology biosensor solutions for the specific and sensitive detection of protein biomarker targets at medically relevant concentrations.

The impact of this work lied in incorporating in vitro evolved sensors of exquisite specificity for their target protein biomarkers in completely genetically encoded biosensor designs. To this end, I successfully prototyped two designs; one design utilised SELEX derived RNA-aptamer sensors incorporated into mRNA constructs to engineer ligand regulated sensor devices that produced a reporter protein output in cell-free extract reactions, and the second design utilised antibody fragments in a whole-cell bio-sensing platform.

Laboratory scientist. Utilised a combination of computational and laboratory techniques for the design and construction of DNA & RNA libraries that aided the identification of functional biomolecules. E. coli host chassis was the project's workhorse organism of choice and E. coli cell- extract was used for high-throughput screening assays.
