The context

The Laboratory of Pharmacology and Brain Pathology, led by Prof.



Michela Matteoli at Humanitas Clinical and Research Center, Milan, is seeking a talented researcher to join our dynamic research team. We are recruiting a junior postdoctoral fellow (fixed-term contract) to contribute to a cutting-edge project on glioblastoma funded by the Fondo Italiano per le Scienze Applicate (FISA), with Dr. Marco Riva, MD, as Principal Investigator.

The project addresses three major obstacles that limit the efficacy of current therapies for high-grade primary brain tumors such as glioblastoma: anatomical barriers, including the blood-brain barrier and the dense extracellular matrix; the biological heterogeneity of tumor cells; and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. To overcome them, we are investigating a novel therapeutic approach based on the local, sustained delivery of anti-cancer agents. The project will evaluate drug-loaded local platform in combination with radiotherapy and with immunomodulatory
