Host InstitutionUniversidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR), Spain Position in the MSCA Doctoral Network “CanGoNano” - Glyconanomaterials for the Delivery of Peptide Antigens or mRNA in Breast Cancer Models: Formulation and Anti-Cancer EfficacyOffer Description
CanGoNano is a European Doctoral Network funded under the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – Doctoral Networks (MSCA-DN) programme. The network focuses on the development of glyconanomaterials (GNMs) as precision tools to advance our understanding of antigen‑presenting cell (APC) activation against cancer through the delivery of antigenic peptides and mRNAs encoding these peptides.

Within the CanGoNano consortium, the Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR) is recruiting one Doctoral Candidate (DC14) to undertake research on the development of glyconanomaterials for the delivery of peptide antigens or mRNA in breast cancer models.




The candidate will be based in Madrid and Logroño (Spain) and will join the MEDONLINE Research Group at UNIR: and the Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBMSO-UAM: Project
Within the work environment, the research activities will include:
This PhD Project Will Focus On
- Characterization and transfection of HER2 breast cancer cell lines.
- Set up of the doses of breast-transfected cell lines, kinetics of tumour progression and immune responses in vivo.
- Evaluation of GNM formulations (including or not adjuvants) and doses to activate immune organs in vivo.
- Examine the capacity of GNM as breast cancer immunotherapies: prophylactic vs therapeutic effects.
- Training in GNM assembly & formulation, anti‑cancer immunotherapy, establishing breast cancer in mice, bionanotech, biointeractions.
