Offer Description
There is a growing interest in the therapeutic use of nucleic acids. Nevertheless, one of the primary challenges to their clinical utilisation is their intracellular delivery, which necessitates assistance due to their negative charges, high molecular weight and low stability. Recently, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have been developed as a means of vectorising RNA (siRNA, mRNA) (Nobel Prize in Medicine 2023). The most common formulations comprise an ionisable lipid, a phospholipid, a cholesterol derivative and a PEGylated lipid.

Fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy have previously been employed to examine the morphological and biological characteristics of LNPs. As part of this PhD, we intend to investigate the structural characteristics of LNPs through the utilisation of fluorescent probes with environmental sensitivity to local polarity, hydration, and viscosity.

This project is being conducted in collaboration with two laboratories at the University of Lyon to integrate the findings from diverse complementary approaches, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron microscopy.
