Your Portal to New Frontiers: Calling All PhD Students & Post-Docs
?What would you do if you could get anything into any cell? What experiments would you run? What questions would you finally be able to answer? If intracellular delivery is the bottleneck standing between you and a breakthrough, this is your opportunity to remove it.
??Portal is launching a competitive grant program to fund the most exciting application ideas in intracellular delivery. We invite PhD students and post-doctoral researchers to submit a one-page proposal describing the scientific application you would pursue if efficient, scalable intracellular delivery were no longer a constraint of:
?Engineering immune cells for next-generation therapies
?Correcting disease-causing mutations in hard-to-reach cell types
?Building new tools for real-time intracellular sensing and imaging
?Reprogramming stem cells or primary cells for regenerative medicine
?Any other application where delivery into cells is the limiting factor
?What Portal Makes Possible:
?Portal’s mechanical delivery platform removes many of the barriers that hold back ambitious cell biology research. With Portal, you can:
?Deliver multiple cargoes simultaneously
?Achieve high efficiency without viral vectors or harsh chemical reagents
?Scale experiments reproducibly from bench to high-throughput
?Work with sensitive primary cells that don’t tolerate conventional methods
?Deliver virtually any cargo type: RNA, proteins, gene editors, probes, and more
?We’re looking for bold application ideas – proposals that lead with the science you want to do, not just the delivery method you’d use.
?To help spark those ideas, join us for an informational webinar on Thursday, April 16 at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET to learn more about Portal’s novel capabilities.Email your one-page PDF proposal to: [email protected] line: Portal to New Frontiers Submission – [Your Name]
We’re excited to fund researchers with ambitious ideas for what becomes possible when delivery is no longer the bottleneck. Tell us what you’d do and let us help you make it happen!
