各位已经坐上教授位子的, 能不能说说怎么从postdoc成为PI. 如何做一个好的博后/学
生已经讨论的很多很多了, 大家心里其实都清楚. 可是除了发好文章, 那些有志于成为
PI的博后该如何努力积累资本, 该建立怎样的能力, 来成为PI, 很多人都不是很清楚.
各位已经坐上教授位子的, 能不能回顾一下, 你觉得你当年有哪些(能力/资本)比较出
色的, 哪些还不足的? 说出来对大家都会有帮助的.
我想我没有资格讨论这个话题, 因为我才开始postdoc没多久. 但我很想听听各位的意

If the tools are lacking, I invent them.
I almost never pay attention to what's hot right now. In fact I avoid
them. As a result, there are really not many people for me to connect

| w******e 发帖数: 1187 | 68 你是有什么targeting ligand?peptide?什么platform?能不能谈谈
为什么觉得比较难?
我挺看好去年nature biotech的aptamer-siRNA conjugate systemic administration
的方向的。希望能继续深入~

| h********n 发帖数: 4079 | 69 When I just came to US I did folate-targeted drug delivery. We chemically linked toxin to folate with some chemistry that the linker is easier to break in cells. Some cancer cell overexpress folate receptor on cell surface so the folate-toxin will enter cell by endocytosis. However it is technically hard to get the folate-toxin break efficiently to kill cells.
I transferred from Purdue after 1.5 years for other reason. You can check Philip Low at chem dept at Purdue. Also check endocyte.com

| w******e 发帖数: 1187 | 70 Thx for the info. the major problem w/ targeted delivery seems to be the
targeting ligand. it's really hard to find a targeting ligand that:
1. bind to a surface marker that is a very specific disease marker
2. have good affinity (nM preferred)
3. can internalize efficiently (usually means that the marker it binds
internalize constitutively).
I really want to find a senior cancer researcher to get some insider info
about the authenticity and expression profile of all the cancer surface
biomarker

I guess you are talking about endosomal escape? or chemical conjugation
simply
abrogate the drug property?
I'm hooked with the simplicity of conjugating aptamer with siRNA. both can
achieve certain level of specificity; both can be synthesized in a single
run; the toxicity profile of ONs are widely available due to the gold
rush in anti-sense field... Yet it's a shame that you only have that few
aptamers to choose from (well, only 1 or 2, according to my knowledge
