Postdoctoral Fellowship in Next-Generation RNA Therapeutics at UBC
blakneylab.msl.ubc.ca
) develops next-generation RNA vaccines and therapies based on self-amplifying RNA and using interdisciplinary approaches including bioengineering, immunology, molecular biology and bioinformatics.
Project: RNA medicines have gained considerable momentum in the past few years with the approval of Onpattro and the COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines. Recently, it has been shown that mRNA can be transported between cells by extracellular vesicles (EVs). We aim to engineer self-amplifying RNA constructs that generate EVs to carry cargo RNA to specific cells and tissues. The PDF will work with our interdisciplinary team to design and synthesize RNA constructs, then test them _in vitro_ and _in vivo_ for EV production, RNA delivery and targeting in preclinical models. We anticipate that this technology will be a clinically translatable delivery system for RNA therapeutics.
Application Process: Interested applicants should submit a CV and cover letter that details their experience and contact details for 3 references. Applications should be submitted to
