Postdoctoral and PhD Positions in Neurotechnology: Drug/Biologics Carrier Formulation & Chemica[...]

The Neurotechnology Group of Prof. Mehmet Fatih Yanik at ETH Zurich is recruiting outstanding postdoctoral researchers and PhD students to join a newly funded LOOP Zurich Flagship Project focused on advancing a breakthrough technology to clinic for non‑invasive targeted drug delivery to the brain.

Our laboratory recently developed a novel focused ultrasound‑mediated targeted drug delivery platform , published in Nature Communications, that enables localized, hyper‑efficient delivery of therapeutic compounds to specific brain regions without invasive surgery.

Project background

We develop advanced focused ultrasound technologies, ultrasound‑responsive drug carrier formulations , and adaptive closed‑loop control algorithms as an integrated precision drug delivery platform for the brain. Our approach employs a novel two‑component ultrasound strategy that first concentrates drug carriers within the target region ...
