PhD Positions in Neurotechnology: Next Generation Non-invasive Neurotechnologies & Brain Therapies

The Neurotechnology Group of Prof. Mehmet Fatih Yanik at ETH Zurich is recruiting outstanding PhD students to join a newly funded LOOP Zurich Flagship Project focused on advancing a breakthrough technology to clinic for non-invasive targeted drug delivery to the brain. Our laboratory recently developed a novel focused ultrasound-mediated targeted drug delivery platform, published in , that enables localized, hyper-efficient delivery of therapeutic compounds to specific brain regions without invasive surgery.

Project background

We develop advanced focused ultrasound technologies, adaptive closed-loop control algorithms, and ultrasound-responsive micro/nano therapeutic carriers as an integrated precision drug delivery platform for the brain. Our approach employs a novel two-component ultrasound strategy that first concentrates drug carriers w...
