  • What it is

    Mobility experience with a research focus

  • Who it’s for

    Master students involved in the final research, PhD sandwich, Post Doc

Department

Department of Chemistry, Politecnico of Milan

 

Main research activities/topics/projects

In this project the development of new heterocyclic ligands for the coordination of PET active metal as Cu or Zr will be pursued. The candidate will be involved in the design, synthesis and characterization of the ligands and of their complex with metals. The activity of the complexes will be tested in collaboration with the pharmaceutical department of the University of Milan.

The loading/anchoring of the complex within organic nanoparticles and nanogels will be also investigated
