Offer Description
A Post-Doc position is available in the MINT laboratory of the University of Angers (UMR INSERM U1066 // UMR CNRS 6021) and this project will be developed in collaboration with MOLTECH-Anjou Laboratory of the University of Angers (UMR CNRS 6200).
This project focuses on the development of polyoxazoline-based nanoparticles for advanced drug delivery and diagnostic applications, particularly in cancer treatment. The work will involve the design and synthesis of novel multifunctional polymeric materials for drug delivery systems (DDS), integrating targeted functionalization and stimulus-responsive properties. These systems aim to enhance in vitro and in vivo imaging while ensuring precise drug release at specific disease sites, improving therapeutic efficacy and minimizing side effects.
A key aspect of the project is the development of polymeric-based nanoparticles (NPs) and Lipid NanoCapsules (LNCs) incorporating functionalized polyoxazolines. These hybrid nanocarriers will be engineered to integrate fluorescent probes for imaging, targeting molecules for selective delivery, and prodrug fragments for controlled drug activation. Their potential in theranostic applications—combining therapy and diagnostics—will be extensively explored.
