Description | Preparing effective and safe vaccines is still a significant challenge for human and veterinary medicine. Using biocompatible, non-toxic, and non-immunogenic polymeric materials as antigen carriers or adjuvants can lead to the development of highly potent polymer vaccines while minimizing side effects. The topic of the doctoral thesis will be the preparation and study of the properties of new tailor-made hydrophilic and amphiphilic polymers that can be used as antigen carriers or adjuvants. The theme is suitable for graduates of chemistry and, eventually, pharmacy. The student will learn new skills in the synthesis and characterization methods and can participate in biological characterization in internal or international cooperating laboratories. We offer exciting and varied work in a well-established team of Biomedical polymers, affording hi-tech equipment and material background. |
