Degradable Polymers Applied to Treat Autoimmune Diseases

This is a summer research opportunity, that may continue into subsequent semesters, for an individual who is interested in pursuing a PhD after completing their BS. The work is an applied science research position that focuses on translational therapies. The goals to to understand how changing the properties of degradable polymer systems results in better treatment of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes. The Ainslie lab is in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy and is physically located in Marsico Hall. Please visit the website for more information. Please do no apply if your interest is to pursue a professional degree after graduation (e.g. MD, PharmD, DVM, DDS).
