Offer Description

The project aims to elucidate the nano-physicochemical determinants governing the structure, heterogeneity and protein-corona formation of both natural lipoproteins (HDL) and synthetic lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), and to relate these properties to their biological function. By integrating bulk and single-particle biophysical approaches, the research seeks to uncover the molecular basis of HDL dysfunction and identify the factors determining the efficiency of LNP cellular delivery and endosomal escape.




The position involves tasks covering the purification of lipoproteins and preparation of lipid nanoparticles, their characterization using OMICS approaches, implementing protocols to perform single particle profiling to analyse differences in lipoprotein and lipid nanoparticles at the single particle level and also to perform functional cell-based tests such as cholesterol efflux capacity and anti-inflammatory properties. Among the tasks we include quantitative data analysis.
The successful candidate will be appointed through a one-year ResearchTechnical contract with possibility for prolongation for the duration of the project. The candidate will join Instituto Biofisika (IBF).
The project includes close collaboration with leading research groups in the Basque Country, Spain, and abroad, as well as experimental use of major international large-scale research infrastructures, including the Institut Laue-Langevin (France),
