Postdoctoral Researcher in Medicinal Bioinorganic Chemistry

Postdoc in synthetic chemistry is available at the University of Southern Denmark to work on a collaborative project on the development of new cancer theranostics using Auger electron and photon-emitting antimony and cobalt isotope pairs. The position is available from the earliest April 2020, initially for one year, with the possibility of extension.

Biocompatible chelating ligands will be designed and synthesized and their complexes with Sb and Co characterized. The complexes will be conjugated with moieties for selectively targeting the DNA in cancer cells. In collaboration with the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Odense University Hospital, the complexes will be tested in cell models. Experience, particularly in Sb chemistry will be an advantage.

For further information please contact Professor Christine McKenzie at the University of Southern Denmark (mckenzie@sdu.dk).
