The Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) is a world-leading institute in global health with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries. Associated with the University of Basel, Swiss TPH combines research, education and services at local, national and international level. 950 staff and students from 95 nations work at Swiss TPH focusing on climate change, environment and health, infectious and non-communicable diseases, societal and cultural context, and health systems and policies.
The Department of Medical Parasitology and Infection Biology (MPI) investigates the biology and transmission of pathogens. Findings from this research inform the development of new diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines against malaria, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, Chagas and other neglected tropical diseases.
Within the Helminth Drug Development Unit of MPI, we are offering a PhD Position in Analytical Chemistry and Pharmacokinetics (100%) for a dedicated multidisciplinary scientist. The position is based in Allschwil in the unit of Jennifer Keiser.
Helminths cause a significant public health burden yet treatment options are limited, and their efficacy is partly unsatisfactory. We have discovered a lead candidate against schistosomiasis and would like to further investigate it in preclinical studies, including combination chemotherapy and different treatment regimen.
