Postdoctoral scholarship in Biotechnology
High throughput microdroplet systems for enzyme and biomarker screening
High throughput microdroplet systems for enzyme and biomarker screening
KTH in Stockholm is the largest and oldest technical university in Sweden. No less than one-third of Sweden’s technical research and engineering education capacity at university level is provided by KTH. Education and research spans from natural sciences to all branches of engineering and includes architecture, industrial management and urban planning. There are a total of just over 15,000 first and second level students and more than 1,600 doctoral students. KTH has almost 4,300 employees.
The School of Biotechnology at the Royal Institute of Technology offers a curriculum that reflects the multidisciplinary nature of Biotechnology, integrating theoretical and applied science in undergraduate and graduate courses. The school has nine departments with about 220 employees, all located at AlbaNova University Center. The biotechnology research within the school is internationally well recognized.
