İŞ TANIMI

Scholarship for Master/PhD Students - VECTOR DESIGN

We are seeking for Master/PhD Scholars on biotechnology field for business packages of vector/cell/bioprocess development of a project which we manage in a collaboration with our R&D partner, TUBITAK MAM (Marmara Research Center in Gebze) Gene Technology and Biotechnology Institute (GMBE). Scholars will join the project at TUBITAK MAM in Gebze and perform their research as an industrial thesis during the project period.
The project consists of several stages of bioengineering applications (gene technology, molecular biology, biophysical chemistry, immunology, bioprocess engineering, clinical trials). Because it is the first project supported by TUBITAK for biopharmaceutical development from vector design to industrial scale production including clinical trials in Turkey, it has a significant impact to Turkish as well as International Biopharmaceutical Market and has a big potential to improve and shape the future of Turkish Biopharmaceutical Industry.
Project Topic: Recombinant Monoclonal Anti-Cancer Antibody Production by Mammalian Cells
Scholarship Topic: Vector Design
Project Period: 4 years (2015-2019)
