Next Generation Nanomedicines
Have you ever wondered what the medicines of tomorrow will look like? In this thesis project, we will explore new avenues to create nanotherapeutics with spatiotemporally orchestrated biological response.
Keywords: nanoparticle engineering, drug delivery, medicines of the future; materials design
In our interdisciplinary team, we seek to explore new concepts for targeted drug delivery and long-term action. We are especially interested in fusing catalysis engineering and analytical imaging to understand biological activity of new materials, in order to rationalize the design of next generation durgs. You will be trained in nanomedicine design & synthesis, advanced analytical imaging and biological performance assessment. Our team is highly interdisciplinary and you will have the chance to work with physicists, engineers, chemists, biologists and clinicians.

The aim of this thesis project is to gain the structure-function understanding needed to intelligently engineer nanotherapeutics and steer their interactions with fully complex biological systems.

The project can be carried out either in Zurich in our lab at ETH (Mechanical & Process Engineering) or at Empa (St. Gallen).
Interested students should send a CV and motivation statement (2-3 sentences) to inge.herrmann@empa.ch or ingeh@ethz.ch.
