A four-year PhD studentship developing molecular-scale quantum sensors that detect cancer biomarkers via their magnetic rather than fluorescent signatures, aiming to map molecular markers on cancer cells at high resolution. The project addresses how biomarker location and distribution influence cancer cell behaviour, working with supervisor Dr Keerthi.
