PhD position on novel mRNA nanotherapeutics against antibiotic-resistant pulmonary infections (P2405)
Basel
August 20, 2024
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern. In recent decades, pan-resistant bacteria have emerged, rendering commonly available antibiotics ineffective. Consequently, many pivotal advancements in modern medicine are now under threat. As the development of new antimicrobials stagnates, there is an urgent need for alternative strategies to identify clinically effective treatments. In this project, we aim to develop a novel strategy for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant pulmonary infections via taking advantage of nanoparticle and m RNA technologies. m RNA technology has gained significant attention in various therapeutic areas, particularly in the development of vaccines for COVID-19. However, the potential of m RNA therapies against antimicrobial resistance has not yet been explored. With this project, we aim to bring the m RNA therapeutics beyond the current state-of-the-art.
We expect candidates to have a relevant background in biology, chemistry, nanosciences, or a similar field (Master's degree required). Prior experience in at least one of the followings is a must: microbiology (growth curves, inhibition assays,etc.), molecular biology (m RNA transfection, mammalian cell culture, etc.), nanoformulation development (lipid nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles, liposomes, etc.). Over the course of the project, the candidate will acquire a wide range of skills in nanoformulation development, m RNA delivery, transfection, microbial and mammalian cell cultures
We are looking for a Ph D student for a joint research activity between Biointerfaces Group at the University of Applied Sciences & Arts Northwestern Switzerland (https://www.nanobiointerfaces.ch), Infection Biology Group at the University of Basel (https://biomedizin.unibas.ch/en/research/research-groups/khanna-gremmelmaier-lab/), and the Nanopharmaceutical and Regulatory Science Group at the University of Basel
(https://pharma.unibas.ch/de/research/research-groups/nanopharmaceutical-regulatory-science/).
The student will become a member of the Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) Ph D school and will benefit from personal support, a strongly interdisciplinary social environment, training in soft skills offered by the Ph D program, and many internal SNI events.
More information and the online application platform can be found at www.phd.nanoscience.ch. For questions please contact the head of the SNI Ph D programme, Dr. Andreas Baumgartner (andreas.baumgartner@unibas.ch), or directly the project leaders. The application has to be completed before 31 December 2024. Please note that the decision to fill the vacancy can be taken at any time from now.
