Department:
Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research, Jewish General Hospital.
Supervisor:
Mark Trifiro, MD, professor in the Division of Experimental Medicine at McGill University and senior researcher at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research of the Jewish General Hospital.
Project description:
MITACS funds are available for the recruitment for a post-doctoral fellow, that will oversee large scale efficacy of targeted multi-walled carbon nanotubes for the photothermal ablation of xenograft prostate cancer tumors.
As part of our route towards development of the technology for clinical applicability as a photothermal treatment for prostate cancer (PCa), we will be determining the efficacy of our Glu-urea-Lys-MWCNT nanoformulation platform by assessing tumor recurrence and disease-free outcomes The Glu-urea-Lys-MWCNT formulation uses a peptidomimetic compound that binds to the Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA); a PCa-specific surface receptor whose expression is correlated with disease onset and progression.
Simultaneously, tests will also be performed to assess photothermal therapy safety of the nanoformulation, biochemical blood testing, histopathological analysis and. adverse events will be documented.
Interested candidates are invited to submit a CV and cover letter by email to Dr. Mark Trifiro at: mark.trifiro@mcgill.ca and Dr. Miltiadis Paliouras at mpaliouras@guzzonanoresearch.ca.
Note: This position is supported by MITACS award.
Department:
Department of Psychiatry, Jewish General Hospital and McGill University.
Supervisors:
Danielle Groleau, PhD, full professor in the Division of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry at McGill University and senior researcher at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research of the Jewish General Hospital
Project description:
The postnatal period represents a challenge for many mothers, making them vulnerable to psychiatric disorders, particularly depressive episodes. Maternal PND can have adverse effects on both mother and infant, often leading to early weaning. Conversely, successful breastfeeding has been associated with an improvement in PND symptoms. Despite this, the underlying mechanisms of the relationship between PND and breastfeeding remain poorly understood. This study aims to fill this gap by focusing on cultural communities such as Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish as well as South Saharan African women, where breastfeeding despite DPN is much more prevalent.
Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a brief (1-page) statement of research interests and career goals, and contact information for five references. Please send your application to psychosocial.ccomtl@ssss.gouv.qc.ca with the subject line “Application Postdoctoral Fellow – [Your Name]”. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
Note: This postdoctoral fellowship is conditional on obtaining a UTTING fellowship from the Department of Psychiatry at the Jewish General Hospital.
