Type

Full-time

The successful candidate should:•hold a diploma or Master’s degree (from one of the countries of the European Economic Area or Switzerland) in cellular biology, biochemistry or bio-engineering or related biomedical field, with excellent marks.•have lab experience in molecular and cellular biology.•have experience in (or strong will to be trained for and use) next generation sequencing analysis •be structured, highly motivated, ambitious and adaptable to diverse methodologies and interdisciplinary environment.•be fluent in written and spoken English.You will develop a next-generation skeletal muscle organoid platform derived from human pluripotent stem cells. This bioprinted organoid platform will be used for metabolic and transcriptomic assessment of specific disease models and drug treatments. Metabolic plasticity of this platform will be studied through tissue-level, cellular and molecular characterization in healthy and disease states. For publications and research activities of bot...
