PhD student - FPI-CONTRACT
Advisor: Prof. Gema de la Torre.
Eligibility criteria: Bachelor Degree in Chemistry and Master Degree in Organic Chemistry. Previous experience in organic synthesis and spectroscopic characterization is welcome.
Research objective: The candidate will be involved in the preparation of metallo-organic cages, built with state-of-the-art porphyrinoid photosensitizers with synergistic chemotheraphy and photdynamic therapy abilities under hypoxic conditions. The synthesis will be developed in our laboratoires at the Department of Organic Chemistry of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. The photochemical and antitumor activity studies will be performed in collaboration with the group of Prof. Santiago Nonell at Universidad Ramón Llul in Barcelona, Spain.
