2 PhD Positions in Mechanobiology, Stem Cell Activity, iPSCs and Organoids Maastricht University in Netherlands

PhD position at Eindhoven University of Technology in computational growth and remodeling of cartilage microtissues. This project sits within the Department of Biomedical Engineering and is embedded in two research groups: Orthopaedic Biomechanics (OPB) and Modeling in Mechanobiology (MMB). The work focuses on mechano-driven cartilage tissue engineering and aims to develop a computational growth and remodeling framework to study how cartilage microtissues grow, fuse, and organize their matrix in...

PhD opening at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in mechanobiology, microfluidics, and advanced in vitro modeling of cancer intravasation. The project is part of the ERC-AdG research project “Intrap” and focuses on understanding how cancer cells move into blood vessels, a key step in metastasis. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary research team working on: - advanced 3D cell cultures in microfluidic chips - biophysical engineering of cell and matrix properties through...

A fully funded PhD position is available at the Regenerative Devices Laboratory of the Università degli Studi di Bari (University of Bari) in Italy. The project focuses on nanotechnology-aided biofabrication of skeletal muscle tissue, combining bioengineering, regenerative medicine, nanotechnology, and tissue engineering. The research is described as multidisciplinary and is aimed at enabling longer and safer human permanence in space, with funding from the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana. The work wi...

PhD position available in biofabrication and biomaterials at the University of Bayreuth within the International Research Training Group Multidimensional Biomaterials [MB]² (GRK 3194). The advertised project focuses on site-specific cell immobilization on tubular biomaterial scaffolds , with research at the interface of biofabrication , biomaterials engineering , cell–material interactions , and advanced scaffold design . The broader programme combines materials science, biomedical engineering, ...

This PhD project at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) investigates the mechanobiological rules that govern cardiac tissue repair, focusing on why most animal species heal heart injuries with scarring (fibrosis) rather than true regeneration. The research is supervised by Prof.dr. Carlijn Bouten and Dr. Vito Conte in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, within the Soft Tissue Engineering and Mechanobiology (STEM) group. The STEM group is internationally recognized for its work in eng...
