Research Associate

Dr. Setu Kasera completed her MPhil and PhD in Chemistry from the University of Cambridge in the Scherman group. Prior to this, she received a BSc (Hons) in Biological Chemistry from Aston University (UK) in 2010, which included a year working in industry.

Through her doctoral research, Setu has developed a quantitative molecular sensing technology for the detection of analytes: ranging from environmental pollutants to the multiplexed analysis of biochemical metabolites in human urine. Setu is now a Research Associate, leading the development, validation and research for markets to translate her platform technology into a commercial enterprise.
