Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark DTU - Technical University of Denmark Full time

Are you passionate about developing innovative solutions for vaccine delivery? As a PhD candidate at DTU Nanolab, you will contribute to the design and fabrication of novel microsystems for the transmucosal delivery of mRNA vaccines. In this exciting project, you will work closely with researchers from DTU Health Tech and Statens Serum Institute (SSI) to explore new approaches for vaccine administration.

The MINERVA project aims to overcome the limitations of current mRNA vaccines by designing and fabricating microinjection systems that enable controlled and location-specific delivery of macromolecules in the oral cavity. Your primary tasks will include:

  • Designing and optimizing microsystems for vaccine delivery using additive manufacturing technology
  • Developing methods for evaluation of stability and efficacy of the novel vaccine delivery devices
  • Collaborating with an interdisciplinary research team to achieve scientific breakthroughs

To be eligible for this position, you should have a strong background in micro- or nanoengineering, biomedical engineering, or a related field. Experience with 3D design and additive manufacturing is highly beneficial. A keen interest in biomedical applications and excellent English language skills are also required.
