Postdoctoral Position in Targeted Nanotherapeutics Research Group

Application Deadline: 10/12/2018
Ref: PD-SMU
The Targeted therapeutics and nanodevices group led by Dr. Silvia Muro at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for Postdoctoral candidate to work on the design of nanocarriers to transport drugs to the brain. The contract will be framed around a funded Explora Ciencia / Tecnología project, which aims to investigate the biological mechanisms controlling transport into and across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to then design polymeric nanovehicles with optimal properties for brain delivery of therapeutics in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers at IBEC and IDIBELL have developed a light-regulated molecule that could improve chemotherapy treatments by controlling the activity of anticancer agents.
