PhD position open : Modular phage-based nanocarriers for radioligand therapy
This PhD project aims to develop modular bacteriophage-based nanocarriers for targeted radioligand therapy (RLT), which constitutes a cornerstone of modern precision oncology, employing ionizing radiation emitted from radionuclide decay to selectively damage tumor cell DNA and achieve cytotoxic eradication. Cancer remains a global health challenge and currently available delivery systems often suffer from limited specificity… Continue reading PhD position open : Modular phage-based nanocarriers for radioligand therapy
