Postdoctoral Researcher in Lipid Nanoparticles for in vivo Gene Therapy at Sanquin (Amsterdam)

Sanquin Research in Amsterdam is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher specialized in Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) to join Jan Voorberg's group. The focus of this position is on in vivo gene therapy for blood diseases, utilizing advanced technologies such as base/prime editing, CRISPR-Cas9, and protein engineering. The research aims to develop and optimize LNPs for the delivery of gene editing tools to hematopoietic stem cells, with the goal of treating genetic blood disorders. The successful candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating with experts in gene therapy, molecular biology, and nanotechnology. Key research areas include the design and characterization of LNPs, in vivo delivery strategies, and the application of gene editing techniques to modify hematopoietic stem cells. The group is part of Sanquin, a leading research institution in the Netherlands, known for its contributions to blood-related medical science. Applicants should have a PhD in biology, biomedical engineering, medical science, or a related field, with hands-on experience in LNPs, gene therapy, or CRISPR-Cas9 editing. Additional skills in protein engineering and in vivo models are highly valued. The position offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research with potential clinical applications in blood disease treatment. To apply, interested candidates are encouraged to contact Jan Voorberg or Despoina Trasanidou via email for further information and application procedures. The position is open until filled.
