Job description
We have an opening in a multidisciplinary project combining advanced microscope and RNA delivery. You will use super-resolution microscopy to study RNA nanostructures for delivery of oligonucleotides to cells. The position is part of the European FET project DESTINATION of
dr. Lorenzo Albertazzi. DESTINATION brings together scientists from multiple fields to design novel RNA delivery carriers to target cancer and metabolic diseases. Your objective will be to use advanced methods such as STORM and PAINT super-resolution microscopy acquire new knowledge about RNA delivery carriers' structure and interactions with cells. The project will benefit of international collaborations with groups active in the field of imaging, RNA nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and drug/gene delivery.
