1. Personalized motivation letter including the specialization of interest

2. A complete CV (including photograph and date of birth)

3. Certificates and grades of University educations and potential jobs/interns

4. Names and contact details of at least three (PhD-students) or two (Master students) referees (former professor/advisor/mentor)

 

PhD Position in Imaging Probe Development

The research group of Prof. Anna Junker is offering a PhD position:
Purinergic receptors are a family of plasma membrane molecules that are found in almost all mammalian tissues. Amongst other cellular functions, these receptors are involved in proliferation and migration of neural stem cells, vascular reactivity, apoptosis and cytokine secretion. Furthermore, purinergic receptors are emerging as a promising target for the treatment of breast cancer, pancreas cancer, and inflammatory diseases. In my group we are investigating and designing ligands as innovative drugs for bioimaging and targeted drug delivery systems. The successful candidate should ideally possess scientific expertise in biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacology or pharmacy demonstrated by a relevant Master of Science in the field (or for pharmacy through successful 2nd state examination) and a keen interest in preclinical imaging sciences.

Master Thesis

We offer a project for a Master's student.

Master Thesis: “Sugar analogs as a platform for molecular imaging”

Field: chemistry, biochemistry, radiochemistry

In recent years, research on new radiotracers for positron emission tomography has significantly accelerated and several new scaffolds have emerged. In particular, sugar-based radiotracers have shown to be able to capitalize on the specific pathways involved in eukaryote and prokaryotes metabolism and ultimately lead to their detection by PET imaging.

In order to expand the library of sugar-based radiotracers and their precursors for their use in specific imaging of cancer cells and of bacterial infections, and within the framework of a master’s thesis, we are looking for a dedicated chemist/biochemist/radiochemist master student (m/f/d) to join an ongoing project at the interface between chemistry and biology. While the core of the project will be centered around chemical modification of sugar analogs, further involvement in in vitro and possibly in vivo experiments documenting the behavior of radiolabeled sugars in various pathologies is foreseen.

Interested candidates are welcome to contact Dr. N. Beziere Dr. J. Cotton and provide a CV in English:
