The Pravetoni lab at the University of Minnesota Medical School is seeking post-docs and research associates interested in development of vaccines and antibody-based therapeutics to counteract opioid use disorders and overdoses. Our unique multidisciplinary research program integrates rational vaccine design, immunomodulators, formulation/delivery platforms, pre-clinical models, analysis of B and T cell lymphocyte repertoire, GLP/GMP studies to support regulatory approval and clinical evaluation, and ad hoc industry collaborations. Our team is currently planning Phase I clinical trials of vaccines targeting various opioids. Strategies and platforms will be applied to development of vaccines or antibodies against biological or chemical threats. We are seeking independent and motivated colleagues interested in leading multidisciplinary multi-site projects. A Ph.D in Pharmacology, Immunology, or other Biomedical discipline is required. Expertise in vaccine development, conjugation chemistry, antibody engineering, and human immunology (B/T cell sequencing, flow cytometry/FACS) is preferred.
