Offer DescriptionThis project aims at preparing and characterizing multiple polymeric coacervate emulsions, which will be selectively loaded with enzymes. Polymeric coacervates should be selected based on their affinity to ensure immiscibility and emulsion characteristics will be evaluated using varied microscopy techniques. Enzyme affinity for each phase will be screened using isothermal titration calorimetry. The evolution of each phase and of the coacervate droplets will be tuned aiming at reproducing (proto)cellular processes and with the purpose of achieving moving actuators responsive to specific targets.Overall emulsion stability will be optimized using Pickering protocols. Experience with microfluidics is also relevant for future applications of the selected emulsions.The fellow will be based at the State University of Campinas's Institute of Chemistry (IQ-UNICAMP) in Brazil.This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected candidate will receive a Post-Doctoral fellowship from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in the amount of R$ 9,047.40 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent on items directly related to the research activity.More information about the fellowship is at: .RequirementsAdditional InformationEligibility criteriaEligible destination country/ies for fellows:
