<p>2009 Internships with Start Up</p>
<p>Here is a short list of competencies the start-up would look for in
students:
Optical engineering designing and testing optical detection
systems for medical diagnostics
Mechanical engineering medical instrument design and test
Electrical engineering signal processing, electronic system
control and test for medical devices
Microfluidics working with very small volumes of liquids in
microchips
Molecular Biology developing DNA tests for different infectious
diseases
Business/Technical entrepreneurs students interested in doing
market research, exploring new business opportunities, etc.
Here is a short write up you can use on the company:</p>
<p>The start-up was formed to develop, manufacture and market a revolutionary
nucleic acid testing concept for the Life Science Research, Clinical
Molecular Diagnostics, Personalized Medical Care and Industrial markets.
Their suite of products, which are based on our proprietary nucleic acid
testing method, will enable rapid detection and quantification of nucleic
acids in complex samples on a flexible, automated instrument. This
technology provides an order of magnitude improvement in performance over
current platforms at a fraction of the cost. The start-up is a small
biotechnology startup involved in the early development phases of the
technology.</p>
