PhD student (M/F) in immunology at the interface with chemistry – Development of an innovative nano/biotherapy for rheumatoid arthritis

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The PhD thesis (Doctoral School "Life and Health" - ED414) will be conducted within the Immunology, Immunopathology and Therapeutic Chemistry Laboratory (CNRS UPR3572), located at the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology in Strasbourg (IBMC, France), which brings together approximately 250 researchers, engineers, technicians, (post)doctoral fellows, and interns. The Institute is located on the central campus (Esplanade) near the city center and is easily accessible by public transport. A university restaurant as well as an administrative restaurant (subsidized rate) and health services are available on campus or nearby. The Unit possesses unique, internationally recognized expertise in autoimmune diseases and nanomedicine, particularly in the development of carbon nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, for biomedical applications and the evaluation of their potential toxicity. This PhD thesis topic is part of a project funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) that brings together partners from Strasbourg and Paris. It will be carried out under the direction of Dr. Hélène Dumortier (immunologist) in close collaboration with the laboratory's team of chemists, particularly Dr. Cécilia Ménard-Moyon, and a postdoctoral researcher. The laboratory has previously obtained solid preliminary results, supporting the project's feasibility. All the necessary equipment is avai
