Model immunogenic molecules will be used for delivery to antigen-presenting cells (APCs), key modulators of immunity. The project involves synthesizing and characterizing the origamis, stability studies in biological fluids, and intracellular traffic in multiple 2D and 3D immune culture models. Ultimately, we seek to stablish key parameters (size, shape, spatial antigen distribution) affecting the activation of antigen-specific responses in primary cell cultures ex vivo from donors with known viral infections (flu, CMV, SARS-CoV-2, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;The PhD researcher should be interested in nanotechnology and immunology as the project will involve state-of-the-art techniques for synthesizing and characterizing the DNA nanostructures and studying antigen processing, presentation, and immune response characterization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Requirements: <\/strong>bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degree in nanotechnology, biochemistry, biotechnology, chemistry, biology, or related.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Elegibility: <\/strong>proven work with nanomaterials, DNA (PCR, primers and oligonucleotide design, agarose gels), proteomics (SDS-PAGE, western blot) and cell culture.
