                                Vinayak Sharm at the Biosensors conference in Lisbon, Portugal

Being in the final year of PhD on the project titled as ‘Development of gold nanoparticle based lateral flow assay for mycotoxin detection’, his work now is entitled to the final aim for the project which is to compare the prepared lateral flow assay strips to commercial technical. Alongside, he is also working as a part time lecturer and senior demonstrator. He is supervising 2 bachelor students and help them with project design, writing, and communication skills. He is also co-supervising 2 new PhD students.  At same time, he attends two international conferences one is Biosensors conference organized by Elsevier and other one is organized by IEEE.

 

 

His aim is to meet top scientist in a forum for accessing the most up-to-date developments in bio-sensing technology, sharing authoritative knowledge from both commercial and academic worlds, sharing best practice in the field as well as hearing about the case studies of successfully integrated bio-sensing technologies.

He employed his knowledge in immunochemistry and cell biology to influence undergraduate students.  He refines his skills of teaching, guiding and helping students to gain their knowledge in both research skills and scientific knowledge.
