Webinar: Your Portal to New Frontiers
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 project ideas that could be enabled by easy 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, such as:
Engineering immune cells for next-generation therapies
CRISPR modifications in difficult to work with cell types
Building new tools for live-cell assays 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, impermeable small molecules or peptides, 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.
