Research Fellow in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

2 weeks ago


Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

**Research Fellow in Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Sensors**:
We are a multidisciplinary team of researchers focusing on the development of in vitro diagnostics assays and devices to combat the occurrence of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). One aspect we are focussing on is therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) - this can optimise antibiotic use which will help combat AMR, and will improve health outcomes. In therapeutic drug monitoring, antibiotic concentrations are measured in the body and the results used to guide dosing. This is currently being done for some antibiotics, but not for the most widely used beta-lactams, which includes penicillins and carbapenems due to the lack of suitable tests. We have recently developed an assay for the rapid, accurate and cheap measurement of carbapenems, which will enable routine use of therapeutic drug monitoring.

In this role, you will further develop this assay into a format which can be used at point of care, i.e. an assay format which requires a mínimal number of steps and human intervention.

You will have a PhD in molecular biology or related discipline and a background in assay development, ideally in assay development for therapeutic drug monitoring, and assay validation in patient samples.

**What we offer in return**
- 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - That’s 42 days a year
- Generous pension scheme plus life assurance - the University contributes 21.6% of salary.
- Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
