Barcelona, Cataluña, España Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) Jornada completa

The Quasi-Living Materials Research Group at IBEC in Barcelona seeks a polymer chemist or organic chemist to join as a PhD student on the ERC PhagoSynCell project. You will develop synthetic cells and comb polymers for antimicrobial applications, combining polymer chemistry with soft matter science.

The PhD project focuses on design of comb polymers (iCPs) that self-assemble into vesicles (combisomes). You will work to increase stability, enhance pathogen engulfment, and derive design rules
