Key takeaways
Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological cancer and this cancer could be prevented by screening programs. Currently the participation rates are low and in this project we want to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of current screening approaches by lowering participation barriers using innovative technologies. Therefore we will develop at the university of Twente an innovative lab on a chip that can be used for the screening. For this we aim to use CRISPR diagnostics in combination with microfluidic chip design.
This PhD project is part of larger study in collaboration with Amsterdam UMC, stakeholders and private partners all participating in this 4WWW project.

About the department
At BIOS, lab on a Chip group we aims to bridge physics, biology and chemistry with the power of Lab on a chip technology. As such we are an interdisciplinary group, part of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology and Technical Medical Centre.
About the organisation
The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) uses mathematics, electronics and computer technology to contribute to the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). With ICT present in almost every device and product we use nowadays, we embrace our role as contributors to a broad range of societal activities and as pioneers of tomorrow's digital society. As part of a people-first tech university that aims to shape society, individuals and connections, our faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad, and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders. Our research has a high profile both in the Netherlands and internationally. It has been accommodated in three multidisciplinary UT research institutes: Mesa+ Institute, TechMed Centre and Digital Society Institute.
