The Leiden Institute of Chemistry offers a PhD position focused on developing small molecules to study immune regulation, particularly in macrophages. This interdisciplinary project integrates synthetic chemistry, chemical proteomics, and cell/molecular biology to explore transcription factors and epigenetic regulators in immune diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. The role involves synthetic molecule synthesis, proteomic analysis, and assay development, with a strong emphasis on collaboration and career development in a supportive, diverse environment.
