Descripción de la oferta
Current treatments against brain diseases have very low efficacy due to the incapacity of most drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and target particular cell populations. We have recently been awarded a highly prestigious grant by the European Research Council to develop new strategies to deliver large therapeutics into the brain with unprecedented efficiency and selectivity. In your project you will be working on engineering proteins in the brain endothelium by combining synthetic biology and bioinformatic approaches for high throughput screening on BBB models.
