Our group at the School of Engineering, University of Guelph is focused on studying the nanoscale aspects of biological, food and agricultural systems through bio-instrumentation and bio-imaging. We foster interdisciplinary approach to research and our studies will involve interactions with researchers within the university and also with the industry partners.
Research positions for graduate and undergraduate students and postdoctoral fellows are available from time to time. Highly motivated candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Neethirajan ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ) to discuss possibilities. A keen interest in interdisciplinary research and a strong commitment to academic excellence is essential. Information about the Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Guelph can be found here.
Two Graduate Student positions (MSc and Ph.D. levels) are available in the Bionanotechnology Laboratory within the School of Engineering at the University of Guelph.
Our group fosters interdisciplinary approach to research in studies covering diverse topics of biomedical, food, biological and agricultural systems. The goal of the lab is focused on studying the nanoscale aspects of biosystems through bio-instrumentation and bio-imaging. Microfluidic devices, atomic force microscopy, mathematical modeling, cell biology, bacteria, and nanotechnology are integrated in our projects. Specific research projects include (1) Investigation of bacterial chemotaxis using microfluidic devices, (2) Experimental studies to understand the bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, and (3) Structural analysis of chromosomes and development of DNA templates using AFM.
Students with background in biomedical, biological, chemical and biosystems engineering are encouraged to apply. Previous experience in microfabrication, cell culture and imaging will be helpful but not required. If you are a highly motivated student who is interested in pursuing nanotechnology research in an interdisciplinary environment, please contact Prof. Suresh Neethirajan at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
