One of the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers (RIDCs) supported by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in São Paulo state, Brazil, CRID is aiming at developing R,D&I projects in partnership with pharmaceutical companies and startups to discover and develop new drugs and biopharmaceuticals by means of conjugated efforts with the Integrated Unit for Drug Discovery and Development – a joint  initiative which brings together EMBRAPII (Brazilian Company of Research and Industrial Innovation) and FMRP-USP (the University of São Paulo's Ribeirão Preto Medical School).

CRID is receiving post-doctoral applications from motivated candidates to integrate a project to develop a biopharmaceutical for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases in collaboration with the Institute of Technology in Immunobiologicals (Bio-Manguinhos), R,D&I and vaccine production facility of Brazilian Health Ministry-affiliated Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz).

The candidate must have obtained their doctoral degree in Pharmacology, Immunology or related areas. The candidate must have experience in in vivo models of inflammation, flow cytometry, biochemical and molecular assays.

Research project

Inflammatory diseases constitute a complex and heterogeneous group of diseases, being an important cause of morbidity and mortality. This project will allow the development of new molecules that modulate the activity of biological targets involved in inflammatory diseases such as: multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. To achieve this, in vivo studies will be carried out with a biomolecule already identified in in vivo models of inflammation.
