Engineer cells at the blood-brain barrier to support precise local delivery of therapeutics into the brain. The project combines molecular biology, protein biochemistry, synthetic biology, gene/viral-vector delivery, extracellular vesicles, engineered secretion and advanced human BBB models.
申请要求
Strong BSc, MSc, MTech or equivalent in biochemistry, molecular/cell biology, biotechnology, biological engineering or a related discipline. Hands-on molecular biology, ideally cloning/DNA assembly and bacterial/mammalian cell culture; practical protein expression, purification or characterisation; experimental independence, troubleshooting and communication. EV/exosome, viral-vector, membrane-trafficking, secretion, flow/confocal or endothelial-cell experience advantageous. Meet CCEB PhD admission requirements: at least Honours Distinction/Upper Second or equivalent, with English-language proof where required. Send CV and a maximum one-page project-specific cover letter to Sheena Smith through the notice; transcripts/test scores optional at this initial stage.
