PhD position: Targeted Radioenhancing Nanoparticles for Neuroblastoma

Your position

This project addresses that limitation by designing ultrasmall nanoparticles suitable for intravenous delivery and tumor targeting, with a specific focus on neuroblastoma. Building on established expertise in nanoparticle synthesis and surface chemistry, this project will optimize nanomaterial design for circulation, targeting, and therapeutic performance in neuroblastoma organoids, enabling preclinical evaluation in physiologically relevant 3D models.
This PhD position sits at the interface of nanochemistry, and translational cancer research, and offers the opportunity to contribute to a next-generation strategy for making radiotherapy more selective, effective, and clinically accessible for difficult-to-treat pediatric tumors.

Your profile

You have a degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry. You either have experience with nanoparticles or with biochemical/biological research. You are curious to both the chemical and the biological aspects of the project. You are proficient in English.
