Research Fellow, Cancer Biology (Ming)

Overview

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Drug Delivery and Bioengineering

Dr. Xin Ming’s Lab at Wake Forest University School of Medicine is seeking a motivated and independent Post-Doctoral Candidate with a background in drug delivery, chemistry/biochemistry, or bioengineering to lead projects focused on precision drug delivery and immunotherapy.

Dr. Ming’s Lab is a translational research lab specializing in drug delivery using antibodies and nanoparticles. Our research program involves the molecular engineering of protein- and nanoparticle-based delivery systems, along with the application of stimuli-responsive approaches to enhance delivery and achieve synergistic effects. The lab is currently supported by multiple NIH grants as well as funding from the Wake Forest Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Clinical and Translational Science Institute.
