CFTC: Expression of Interest for the FCT 2026 PhD Grant Programme

Unlock the future of nanomedicine! Apply for an FCT PhD Fellowship to join the groundbreaking MEDIAN project.

Are you ready to build the next generation of smart drug delivery? We invite ambitious PhD candidates to apply for FCT PhD Fellowships for positions within the innovative MEDIAN project at the University of Lisbon. We are developing innovative enzyme-powered nanomotors – tiny, self-propelled particles designed for precise drug delivery in complex biological environments, particularly for targeted therapies like cancer treatment.

This unique PhD opportunity offers:

• Cutting-edge research: Synthesize novel enzyme-driven nanomotors and explore their autonomous motion and interaction with cells in realistic biological fluids.
• Interdisciplinary expertise: Benefit from truly interdisciplinary, joint supervision by a leading Chemist (Professor Elisabete R. Silva, BioISI) and a renowned Computational Physicist (Professor Mykola Tasinkevych, CFTC).
• High impact potential: Contribute to fundamental scientific understanding and develop groundbreaking solutions for targeted drug delivery.

You will work within a dynamic, supportive team, leveraging world-class facilities to push the boundaries of nanotechnology in medicine. If you're passionate about innovation and eager to make a real-world impact, we encourage your application.

Secure your fully funded FCT PhD Fellowship and help us shape the future of smart drug delivery.
