Open OpportunitiesDiaxxo (diaxxo.com) is a start-up originated at ETH Zürich, where in the past 4 years we have
developed and prototyped an innovative Point-of-Care Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) device. Our
vision is to bring the power of molecular diagnostics to every doctor’s office, thanks to our new
pre-loaded PCR test kits that allow for simpler and faster sample preparation steps. In 2020 our
devices have been used by more than 250 laypeople for the rapid detection of COVID-19 in a field
study that we run at ETH Zürich, and our systems are currently being tested at the Swiss Tropical and
Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH). - Biology

| This project uses droplet based microfluidics to encapsulate single-cells for antibody capture, characterization and B cell isolation. The current project involves cloning and expression of novel antigen into an antigen-library for antigen mapping at single-droplet resolution. The project is suited for Master projects and master thesis (>3 months) and involves, cloning, validation, expression analysis as well as single-droplet verification. Finally, antibody secretion experiment are planned to isolate single-antigen binders and B cell sequencing.
Current antigens revolve around the SARS Cov2 Nucleocapsid protein, RBD and envelope proteins to assess antibody cross-reactivity. - Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Genetic Immunology, Microbiology
