Dr Setu Kasera | The Scherman Group

skip to content

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.
