Post-Doctoral Fellow in ASO brain delivery (H/F)
Job Opportunity: Post-Doctoral Fellow in Neurological Disease Treatment
Are you passionate about advancing treatments for brain neurological diseases? We are seeking a highly motivated post-doctoral fellow to join our team and tackle the challenge of delivering antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This project aims to evaluate and validate innovative delivery approaches that ensure high brain specificity for ASOs.
Why Join Us?
- Innovative Research: Delivering ASOs across the BBB remains a major bottleneck in treating brain neurological diseases. While several approaches have been identified, they require further optimization for clinical application.
- Impactful Work: Contribute to groundbreaking research that has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of neurological diseases.
- Collaborative Environment: Work closely with a multidisciplinary team, including chemists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, and other scientists, to ensure the alignment and integration of research findings.
Responsibilities:
- Collaborating with the chemistry department to deliver optimal constructs.
- Conducting in vitro evaluations on neurons (training provided if needed).
- Coordinating in vivo evaluations with DMPK, pharmacologists, and toxicologists.
- Partnering with internal and external collaborators.
- Staying updated with scientific advancements (literature review, new techniques).
- Supporting data collection and sharing with R&D partners.
- Organizing project review meetings, presenting data, and writing reports.
- Communicating results through peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations.
- Contributing to lab activities, mentoring students, and engaging in science outreach.
Profile:
- PhD in in vitro Neurosciences or equivalent.
- Previous post-doc experience in in vitro neuroscience is a plus.
- Experience in in vitro culture and cellular microscopy.
- Experience in neuronal in vitro culture is a plus.
- Willingness to perform in vitro/in vivo experiments.
- Basic knowledge in the ASO field.
- Knowledge in chemistry and DMPK/Distribution is a plus.
- Fluent in English and French.
- Ability to mentor interns or technicians.
- Team spirit, proactive, and result-oriented.
- Strong communication skills and experience in writing and publishing in international peer-reviewed journals.
We are committed to equal opportunities and developing talents in all their diversity. We value both experience and the desire to engage daily in contributing to therapeutic progress for the benefit of patients. If this offer resonates with you, seize this opportunity to meet us!
