Research Opportunities
Pharmaceutical Research in Drug Delivery
Description:
This is a research training position at the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, open for freshman/raising sophomores.
Drug delivery is an important aspect of drug discovery/development to maximize therapeutic delivery to the targets (such as tumors) and minimize off-target drug delivery that often leads to severe side effects (as seen in chemotherapy).
To help develop next-generation drug delivery systems, it is necessary to perform in vitro screening studies using model cells. This is a training position for developing the basic skills required for drug screening studies and for chemical synthesis/purification of therapeutic molecules of interest.
Successfully completing the research training in sophomore years will lead to upper-level independent studies via BCHM497/BIOL497 in junior/senior years.
Indicate any special skills, training, and/or prerequisite coursework required or preferred.
Prior FRI experiences are appreciated but not required. Ideal candidate should have a good understanding in general chemistry, general biology, (and/or OG I/II), and familiar with molar concentration calculations.
