Description
The PhD candidate will join the Inngjerdingen lab, which emphasizes NK cell biology and the exploitation of NK cell-derived extracellular vesicles for cancer therapy. The candidate will focus on developing lipid nanoparticle-based delivery systems with cell-penetrable peptides to target cancer cells effectively. This research aims to distinguish the membrane compositions of healthy versus malignant cells and will also include developing antibiotic delivery systems for bacterial membranes. Opportunities for collaboration with national and international partners are expected, including potential travel.
