A 18-month post-doc position is avalaible in collaboration between Institut Galien and Materials Institute of Paris
Project title: A 3D model of lung cancer for in vitro preclinical prediction of in vivo behavior of nanoMOFs
Summary: The aim of this project is to better understand, at the cellular level, how nanoMOFs can interact with lung cancer cells. To reach this goal 3D culture methodologies will be applied to the construction of a multicellular lung tumor model capable to reproduce in vitro the complex cancer cells/microenvironment cross-talk, therefore allowing to better understand how nanoMOFs can interact with the lung tumor tissue.
An appointee to the position shall hold a doctoral degree and have the ability to conduct independent scholarly work. Suitable applicants will have a strong background in cell biology as demonstrated by publications in relevant fields. Experience with formulation and characterization of drug delivery systems is also advantageous, as is knowledge and/or experience with MOFs.
