Postdoctoral Fellowship in Nanobiotechnology and Cancer Therapeutics Sabanci University Nanotechnology Research and Application Center (SUNUM) in Turkey

The NanoBio4Can project is a prestigious research and training fellowship program designed for postdoctoral researchers aiming to advance innovative therapeutic approaches in cancer through nanobiotechnology. The program, part of the Horizon Europe Scientific Excellence initiative, focuses on drug development, drug delivery, and the creation, testing, and validation of targeted systems for cancer treatment. It is structured to foster both academic excellence and entrepreneurial skills in early-stage researchers.

NanoBio4Can is a collaborative effort led by SUNUM (Sabanci University Nanotechnology Research and Application Center) in partnership with TÜBİTAK Marmara Research Center, Koç University Translational Medicine Research Center, and İzmir Biomedicine and Genome Center. The program aims to train 24 postdoctoral fellows in the fields of nanobiotechnology and cancer, providing a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of biology, medical science, and biomedical engineering.

The fellowship is co-funded by the European Union under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie program, ensuring high standards of research support and international collaboration. While the announcement does not specify stipend amounts or detailed funding terms, selected fellows are recognized as Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellows, which typically includes competitive financial support.

Eligibility requires candidates to be early-stage postdoctoral researchers with a strong interest in cancer research, drug development, and nanobiotechnology. The program encourages applicants to develop both scientific and entrepreneurial skills, preparing them for leadership roles in academia and industry.

The results for the 2nd call have been announced, and selected candidates are advised to check their inboxes for further updates. For future application opportunities, interested researchers should monitor the NanoBio4Can website and related channels for instructions and deadlines.
