26/01/2026

The Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disorders (CVMD) Programme at Duke-NUS houses state-of-the-art technologies for profiling mitochondrial function, RNA-based therapeutics, and metabolic adaptations in human patients and relevant model systems. The programme undertakes translational and clinical research in cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, with a strong emphasis on therapeutic development, including lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based RNA delivery platforms.

We are seeking a highly motivated (Senior) Research Assistant to support RNA therapeutics programs, with lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation and delivery as a core component of the role. The successful candidate will play a key hands‑on role in RNA synthesis/handling, LNP formulation and optimization, and downstream in vitro and in vivo validation in cardiovascular disease models.
