Topic Advanced polymer drug carriers for cancer treatment
Supervisor Petr Chytil, Ph.D.
Department Biomedical Polymers
Description Polymer drug carriers are non-toxic, non-immunogenic, and biocompatible polymer materials that target and control the release of biologically active compounds in the treated tissue, thus minimizing the side effects of carried drugs. The doctoral project theme will consist of synthesizing and studying the properties of tailor-made hydrophilic or amphiphilic polymers that are efficient as anti-cancer drug carriers.
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.
