Postdoc position - Design and synthesis of polymeric nanocarriers for application in the field of personalised medicine.
One postdoc position (starting from a 12-month contract from November 2021) is available at the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano. The successful candidate will join the team of NEWMED research project funded by Regione Lombardia (https://www.cmic.polimi.it/en/magazine/molecular-sciences/newmed/ ). This project aims at developing engineered nanoparticles with complex architecture to ensure targeted delivery of drugs for the treatment of heart diseases. Controlled polymerisation techniques, nanoprecipitation and bioconjugation will be utilised for the production functional nanocarriers which are traceable in vitro and in vivo (with fluorinated contrast agents), and are able to increase the half-life and the selectivity of the therapeutic molecules (epigenetic drugs) at the targeted site. Profile We are looking for a highly motivated researcher holding a PhD degree in Chemical, Biomedical or Materials Engineering, Chemistry, Pharmacy or related fields with the drive to pursue a challenging multi-disciplinary project. The research activity will require lab experience on organic synthesis and/or polymer chemistry, and expertise on the physicochemical characterisation techniques of the nanomaterials. Moreover, a good understanding of drug delivery, as well as nanotechnology and nanomedicine will be appreciated.
Contact
The official call will be published soon on the website of Politecnico di Milano. Candidates interested in a pre-assessment should submit a CV by e-mail to Prof. Francesco Cellesi ([email protected] ).
