About the research group and project

The PhD position is associated to the project funded by UiT "Strategy Funding Scheme" to establish "Centre for Advanced Nanoscopy to Decode Sub-cellular Biological Systems". This strategy funding supports 4 PhD candidates, located at different departments/faculties within UiT but working closely on using (and developing) optical nanoscopy for sub-cellular biological systems. The project was granted to the consortium led by Associate Professor Balpreet Ahluwalia. This project is the 3rd work packages (WPs) leading by Professor Purusotam Basnet and other two will be leading by Associate Professor Balpreet Ahluwalia (WP 1) and Professor Jorunn Jørgensen (WP 2).

 

The focus of the project is to establish new research frontiers towards high-speed, high-resolution compact integrated-optical-nanoscopy and its application to human embryo development targeted to clinical application. The chip-based nanoscopes will be used for imaging nanoscale biological systems in close collaborations with the collaborators at the university and IVF clinic at University hospital in North Norway (UNN). The UiT strategy grant brings together collaborators from the Department of Medical Biology (Associate Professor Peter McCourt), Department of Pharmacy (Associate Professor Soren Abel), Norwegian Co
