## Description

Adulterated spirits and counterfeit medicines cause significant harm each year. Eluceda has developed innovative electrochemical sensing technology, currently deployed worldwide for detecting fraud in alcoholic spirits. The handheld "lab-on-a-chip" device tests liquid samples, comparing electrochemical fingerprints to expected profiles. This KTP Project will extend this proven technology into pharmaceutical verification- particularly in emerging markets, where large analytical equipment is unaffordable., The KTP Associate will be based at Eluceda in Burnley and lead development of a novel analysis pipeline for processing and classifying sample data gathered by Eluceda's sensing technology, in collaboration with mathematicians from the University of York. There are significant training opportunities for developing leadership and project management skills within the KTP programme.
