Offer Description
The successful candidate will work across supramolecular inorganic chemistry, polymer chemistry, and bioconjugation to design stable, stimulus-responsive nanomaterials.
We are seeking curiosity-driven candidates with an MSc in chemistry, hands-on experience in organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, and interests in supramolecular and bioinorganic chemistry. In addition to deepening in these areas, throughout the PhD, the candidate will develop expertise in spectroscopy, materials characterization,



and cell biology throughout the PhD to meet the project s interdisciplinary goals. The project includes training and research stays at both institutions, oKering an interdisciplinary environment with strong potential for biomedical translation.
POLYCAGE aims to convert metallacages from elegant molecular assemblies into robust, multifunctional hybrid biomaterials with biomedical utility. The project combines the expertise of Dr. Ana Beloqui at POLYMAT and Dr. Guillermo Moreno-Alcántar at CIC biomaGUNE to develop functional polymer-metallacage hybrids. These materials will be designed to improve colloidal stability, introduce stimulus responsiveness, and enable controlled delivery of therapeutic cargos We are seeking a motivated candidate with a strong background in chemistry, materials science, or a closely related discipline, and with a clear interest in interdisciplinary research at the interface of supramole
