Health Canada requires the food industry to declare 10 allergens and gluten sources on food packaging. Given the growing number of tests required, and the high cost of allergen detection methods such as ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay), the famous precautionary statement \u00ab\u00a0May contain …\u00a0\u00bb has become overspread. In the absence of a more effective and less costly detection method, allergy sufferers will continue to impose either a restrictive diet or a risk to their health.<\/span><\/p>\n A team of researchers from three Quebec universities (Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, UdeS, Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, UdeM and Universit\u00e9 Laval) has teamed up with two government agencies (Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Health Canada) and two non-profit consumer organizations (Food Allergy Canada and C\u0153liaque Qu\u00e9bec) to develop a new allergen detection method that is more robust, more sensitive, and less expensive than ELISA. The Raman probe consists of a carbon nanohorn (CNH) in which a dye is encapsulated and onto which an antibody is grafted. The Raman signal will be more precise and detailed than the fluorescence signal from ELISA and will enable parallel acquisition of signals from more than one allergen at a time. The aim is to offer the agri-food industry an effective, robust and less expensive device. Ultimately, this technological leverage will enable stakeholders to improve the use of precautionary allergen labelling and better protect allergic consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n The aim of this proposed thesis project<\/strong> is to develop the biomarker platform for allergen detection. The candidate will set the framework for the attachment of the antibody species into the probe, probes their characteristics, and apply the probing platform on a food matrix. The selected candidate will characterize and evaluate the antibodies to be used in the development of the technology. To do this, he\/she will (i) prepare probes and reference materials for the main allergens selected, (ii) validate the performance of selected antibodies against the allergens, and (iii) develop an efficient protocol to attach the antibody to the nanostructure.<\/span><\/p>\n This thesis will be supervised by Pr. R. Martel and Pr. S. Gaisson of UdeM and Pr. S Godefroy of ULaval. The work will be carried out mainly at the Universit\u00e9 de Montreal. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with the Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, project partners and collaborators in international laboratories. The candidate will thus benefit from an exceptional international research environment where students, engineers, professors and industrialists work hand in hand to develop the technologies of the future to improve public health and the food industry in Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n – MSc degree chemistry, physics, surface functionalization, or related topic.<\/span><\/p>\n – Experience in immunology and in-depth experience in allergen detection methods (ELISA, PCR or other) are relevant assets.<\/span><\/p>\n – Ability to communicate both orally and in writing in English or French.<\/span><\/p>\n – Strong capacity for adaptation, autonomy, teamwork and problem-solving.<\/span><\/p>\n – Strong taste for design, experimental work, interdisciplinary R&D and entrepreneurship.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n CV, motivation letter and 2 references to provide at <\/span>emplois-materiaux@usherbrooke.ca<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_4″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=\u00a0\u00bb1″ specialty=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.21″ custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb0px||0px|\u00a0\u00bb prev_background_color=\u00a0\u00bb#000000″ inner_width=\u00a0\u00bbauto\u00a0\u00bb inner_max_width=\u00a0\u00bbnone\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.19.11″ width=\u00a0\u00bb80%\u00a0\u00bb max_width=\u00a0\u00bb1080px\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00a0\u00bb\u00c0 lire aussi\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.22.1″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.21″ posts_number=\u00a0\u00bb4″ include_categories=\u00a0\u00bb13″ show_author=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb show_date=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb show_pagination=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb border_width_bottom_fullwidth=\u00a0\u00bb1px\u00a0\u00bb border_color_bottom_fullwidth=\u00a0\u00bbrgba(51,51,51,0.18)\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb||50px|\u00a0\u00bb module_id=\u00a0\u00bbpage_type_blog\u00a0\u00bb header_level=\u00a0\u00bbh4″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PhD project in Canada <\/p>\n Position DescriptionHealth Canada requires the food industry to declare 10 allergens and gluten sources on food packaging.
