The Hedtrich lab

combines research expertise in pharmacology, biomedical engineering & drug delivery. We focus on the establishment of Next Generation Therapies, Nanomedicine, Tissue Engineering & Tissue Regeneration. We are particularly interested in healthy and diseased states of human epithelia with a current focus on inflammatory and genetic diseases of the human skin and lungs. Our research is highly interdisciplinary and requires close collaborations with experts in the field of chemistry, medicine, and genetics.

We are looking for a postdoc in LNP-mediated gene therapy: PDF_Gene Therapy
