PhD Researchers

We have two open PhD Research Positions and one open postdoc position. If you are a MSc student in Mainz, you may start with a Master thesis on these topics.​

​

We are looking for motivated PhD students who want to cure spinal cord injuries with DNA hydrogels and work on next generation delivery system to the brain. More information will follow soon.

Required Background:

Spinal Cord Injury Repair: polymer science, biomaterials, DNA 

Delivery: RNA chemistry, biology, synthetic biology, biomaterials, 

Both projects will be part of a Carl Zeiss-funded Research Project "Interreg" due to start in 2025. It entails a close collaboration with neuroscience and specialists in encapsulation and delivery.
