About Translocation of Complex Macromolecules Across the Intestinal
Epithelial Barrier (TMI)
The main objective of the research group TMI, headed by Dr. Kyungbo Kim, is to discover novel
transport mechanisms in the human intestinal tract that could be utilized for oral-systemic delivery of
diverse therapeutic modalities (e.g., peptides, oligonucleotides, and antibodies). Studies will involve
isolating intestinal cells, generating intestinal organoids from human subjects, and creating an
organotypic assay system of the intestine. The project's cores are to develop a ligand specific for a
target cell and establish quantitative assessment methods to monitor macromolecular drug delivery
across the intestinal epithelial barrier. Our final goal is to create a novel delivery platform that can be
utilized to develop a new generation of oral immunotherapies to benefit patients.
The Position
The student intern will be involved in ligand-receptor interaction studies using bioluminescence and
colorimetric assay. The intern will also learn ideas about how to engineer proteins for purposes. Hands-
on experience with protein expression and purification is preferred. The ideal candidate(s) will be an
MSc student in cell biology, biochemistry, or a related field with excellent work organization skills and
communication skills in English.
Required Skills
• Hands-on experience in In vitro translation or bacterial protein expression (preferred)
1
Additional Preferred Skills
• Experience with microscopy techniques (e.g., confocal microscopy & live-cell imaging)
Please submit your application to Dr. Kyungbo Kim (kim@bio.mx). Applicants will be interviewed upon
incoming documents, hence please get in touch as soon as you decide to apply. This internship is
scheduled to begin on November 1, 2023. However, the internship period and start date could be
adjusted during the interview.
