Technepine can be routinely made in the laboratory and eventually in most hospital's radiopharmacies, whereas probes based on radioactive carbon or fluroine must be produced in a cyclotron. Professor Davison suggests that if this can be used successfully with patients, it would be a very important tool for diagnosing ailments and monitoring treatment efficacy, ultimately leading to the design of more effective drug treatment. Particular experience in electrophoretic biopolymer separations, cross-linking proteins, and luminescent labels would facilitate assimilation into the existing technical development team. Good theoretical knowledge with literature research skills who can contribute to the development and production of new and existing products. Pleasant, creative, intellectual environment.
Salary commensurate with experience.
The Crump Institute for Biological Imaging is seeking applicants with experience in synthetic organic chemistry for a tenure-track faculty position. The vision of the Crump Institute is to merge biology and medicine with modern imaging technology. They are seeking a person who has an interest in biological applications to work as part of a research consortium to develop novel radiolabeled probes for use in positron emission tomography. Candidates should submit three copies of their cv, a statement of their research plans, and three letters of reference. The first project, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and National Science Foundation involves the synthesis and characterization of emissive polymers.
