Job Purpose

We are looking for talented individuals to join Lee’s Lab at Department of Medicine, NUS. Our team aims to develop synthetic macromolecules for prevention and treatment of HBV infection and liver cancer, and to understand underlying antiviral molecular mechanism of the macromolecules. We have recently developed synthetic polymers with potent antiviral activity against HBV infection both in vitro and in vivo. Candidates will work on compositional optimization of the macromolecules and nanoparticulate formulation of the optimized macromolecules for evaluation of in vivo efficacy. Candidates will also work on evaluation of biodistribution and in vivo toxicity of the optimized macromolecules. Highly motivated individuals with a passion to advance medicine are encouraged to apply.
