Second Funding Period for DAPHNE4NFDI granted
Synchrotron radiation and neutron sources provide central methods for the research conducted at our institute. In combination with our laboratory methods, we investigate physicochemical fundamentals of materials production and processing, as well as the development of processes for applications e.g. in optoelectronic components such as solar cells or sensors and detectors, drug delivery systems, and […]Synchrotron radiation and neutron sources provide central methods for the research conducted at our institute.

PhD student (f/m) at ILL, Grenoble, France: Development of a SAXS/SANS/PCS analysis software for drug delivery systems
You will develop, implement, test, and apply a robust fully automated AI assisted SAXS/SANS/PCS data evaluation software which will allow for an effective analysis of the complex mesoscopic structure of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for parenteral drug delivery. Such systems are currently being intensively developed worldwide and undergoing clinical trials (e.g. mRNA delivery). However, knowledge of […]You will develop, implement, test, and apply a robust fully automated AI assisted SAXS/SANS/PCS data evaluation software which will allow for an effective analysis of the complex mesoscopic structure of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for parenteral drug delivery.
