Postdoctoral Position in “Targeting the brain with protein-loaded nanogels”

A two-years postdoctoral position is available in the group of Dr. Ana Beloqui and Prof. Marcelo Calderón at the Basque Center for Macromolecular Design and Engineering, POLYMAT Fundazioa. The selected candidate is expected to participate in the management of an EU project (ca. 30-35% of the time), conduct research, and write papers, reports and proposals. The candidate will have the possibility to co-supervise students and establish collaborations in the framework of a multidisciplinary EU project (“TheraTools”, European Doctoral Network) recently awarded. The candidate will be focused on the development of a methodology to encapsulate proteins within responsive polymeric nanogels, which are able to cross de BBB. Moreover, the nanogels will be designed to have the ability to release the antibodies in the environment of glioblastoma cancer cells.
