The Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology PAS is seeking a candidate for the position of:

Postdoc

Number of available positions: 1

Place of work: the Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology, Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology PAS, Warsaw

Researcher career profiles (R1-R4): R2

Field of science: biology

Type of recruitment: the EuroNanoMed III project: Reactivation of antitumor immune responses in gliomas using nanotechnology based targeted delivery

Scope of tasks:

A candidate will study “smart” nanosystems to deliver immunomodulatory agents in order to reactivate antitumor immune responses in the brain tumor microenvironment and sensitize this tumor to immunotherapies. Innovative nanocarriers to deliver small interfering RNA (siRNA): 1) to revive cytolytic activities of NK cells, and 2) to modify tumor-associated myeloid cells by blocking their protumoral polarization and immunosuppressive functions. The nanocarriers includes liposome, polymersome and dendrimer nanoformulations functionalized with homing peptides for effective crossing of the blood-brain barrier and deliver siRNAs to the tumor, immunomodulatory activities of the cargo will be assessed ex vivo in tumor-immune cells co- cultures and in vivo in a murine model of glioblastoma. The most promising candidate nanocarriers will be tested in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors in clinically relevant models in mice.

Job description:

In this collaborative project with the University of Sapienza, CellVax, University of Marsaille and University of Tartu, we will study biodistribution and penetrance of new brain targeting nanocarriers and efficacy of gene knockdown. Immunophenotyping, bulk and scRNA-seq of immune cells from tumors and periphery will be evaluated in murine glioma models. Effective nanocarriers will be tested for antitumor activity alone and in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
