Curious about research applying lipid nanoparticles, polymers, cells, and viruses to deliver therapies for cancer, infectious & autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular conditions, and neurodegenerative diseases? Check out the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Eshelman School of Pharmacy's Division of Pharmacoengineering & Molecular Pharmaceutics (DPMP). Their students are from backgrounds like Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, and Pharmaceutical Sciences. DPMP is the only graduate program concentrated solely on delivery of pharmaceuticals and vaccines (drug delivery) and they focus on translating therapies from bench to beside, with several faculty having spun out our tech to startup companies. More information can be found here: https://pharmacy.unc.edu/divisions/dpmp/ 

They are part of the #1 US School of Pharmacy. PhD students are supported at $35,000+/yr stipend plus tuition, fees, and health insurance without a teaching assistant requirement. Students have the option of selecting labs after performing rotations. Their facilities are state of the art buildings and core research facilities all surrounded by the Research Triangle comprised of big and small Pharma, major universities, and other research institutions.

They will have a Zoom information session about their PhD program on Thursday, October 10th, at 6 pm Eastern time. It is open to everyone, and you can register here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwpcuypqT0tHdV4QFRxKhZpjYmsxXSWB-5U#/registration

After the event, a recording of the webinar will be available on their website (https://pharmacy.unc.edu/education/phd/drug-delivery/phd-program/) and last year’s webinar is already posted.
