About Loyola University Chicago

Basic information and contact details for Loyola University Chicago

Loyola University Chicago is one of the biggest Jesuit institutions in the US.

LUC, as it is commonly known, has six campuses spread across Illinois’ largest city, 11 schools and colleges, and student-staff ratios below 15:1. Its main Lake Shore campus is on the banks of Lake Michigan, while its Water Tower campus is right in the city centre, a stone’s throw from Chicago’s “Magnificent Mile”.

The third most populous city in the US, Chicago is famous for its food, sports champions, theatres, concert venues, and 500-plus parks. The birthplace of the skyscraper, Chicago’s skyline is adorned with iconic buildings.

Over 15,000 students on more than 200 different programmes make use of its six campuses across town, while LUC also bought a campus in Rome in 2009, which offers more than 40 courses of its own in the heart of the Italian capital. Around a third of LUC students study abroad, and the university now has additional centres in Beijing and Vietnam, as well as offering study programmes in more than 50 other countries. There are over 200 student organisations for those at LUC to join, while the Loyola Ramblers varsity teams compete at the highest level of college sport, and have won basketball and volleyball titles.

LUC alumni include William M. Daley, President Obama’s chief of staff, L. Scott Caldwell, the actor best-known for playing Rose in TV drama Lost, and John York, co-owner of the San Francisco 49ers American football team.

ImmunoViroTherapy Lab at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Helsinki, invites applications for the position of a DOCTORAL RESEARCHER (Generation and tracking of armed rADV with imaging reporter genes, DC 1 in MSCA-DN INTRABRAIN) for a full-time position funded for three years. Earliest starting date is in September 2026, with the exact starting date negotiable after selection. Position Description Prof. Vincenzo Cerullo’s lab is seeking a PhD student in engineering and in vivo tracking of armed reporter oncolytic viruses. The selected PhD candidate will obtain degree at the University of Helsinki. The PhD position consists of studies at Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Helsinki (UH, Finland) and secondments at consortium partner organisations in Italy and England. The position is funded by the Doctoral Network (DN) project “INTRABRAIN” of the Horizon-Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). The topics of the PhD candidate: The doctoral candidate will focus on engineering advanced recombinant oncolytic adenoviruses (rADVs) for glioblastoma therapy by incorporating therapeutic genes such as IL-12 or IL-2, along with imaging reporter genes to enable real-time tracking of viral activity. Their work will include designing and constructing these viral vectors, as well as validating their infectivity, biodistribution, and imaging performance in preclinical models. Through secondments at University of Naples Federico II, University of Glasgow and University of Rome Tor Vergata, the candidate will gain expertise in glioblastoma imaging in patient-derived models, neurostimulation and advanced imaging technologies such as ultrasound and MRI. Additionally, they will address potential limitations in imaging sensitivity by optimizing detection methods and applying complementary histological approaches to ensure accurate evaluation of viral distribution. INTRABRAIN Project Description The INTRABRAIN project is an ambitious and highly innovative research and training initiative aimed at revolutionising the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) through next-generation cancer immunotherapy. By integrating cutting-edge nanotechnology, virotherapy and immunology, the project focuses on developing novel therapeutic strategies based on polymeric nanoparticles delivering engineered oncolytic adenoviruses encoding the immune-stimulating cytokines. This approach is designed to overcome major clinical challenges such as the blood–brain barrier and tumour-induced immunosuppression, enabling targeted, efficient and less invasive treatment via intranasal delivery. In parallel, INTRABRAIN fosters the training of a new generation of highly skilled doctoral researchers through interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international collaboration, equipping them with advanced scientific and transferable skills.
