The University Ramon Llull is a confederation of schools, faculties and departments. IQS is its oldest founding member and consists of two major schools, the School of Engineering and the School of Management that form each an administrative grouping of departments and other institutions among which there are three strategic academic divisions: IQS Executive Education that offers cutting-edge and transformative learning experiences to business leaders; IQS Tech Transfer that promotes research with impact, innovation and technology transfer for companies and organizations and IQS Tech Factory that fosters entrepreneurship and supports the creation of new scientific-technological companies.

With 100 years of teaching experience, IQS is a university center of reference, committed to donating responses to the continuum of challenges that the social, economic, technological and industrial context poses.

Our mission and commitment are to cultivate individuals with values and competencies needed to flourish humanely and professionally.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION





Enzyme Discovery and Protein Engineering to Develop Novel Enzyme Delivery Platforms for Precision Targeting of Aberrant Glycans in Tumor Cells
The Biochemistry Laboratory at IQS–Ramon Llull University (Barcelona) is offering a research assistant position at the interface of enzyme discovery, protein engineering, glycobiology, and cancer biotechnology. This project aims to translate fundamental advances in enzyme design into innovative biomedical applications for the selective targeting of cancer-associated glycans.
Protein glycosylation is one of the most prevalent post-translational modifications in eukaryotic cells and plays essential roles in protein stability, signaling, and cell-cell communication. In cancer, glycosylation pathways are frequently dysregulated, leading to the appearance of aberrant glycan structures on cell-surface and secreted proteins. These tumor-associated glycans are recognized as key
