About this position
University Medical Center Utrecht is offering a fully funded PhD project in the interface between biophysics and cellular immunology within the Center for Translational Immunology’s Computational Immunology Cluster and the Vorselen Lab.
The doctoral researcher will develop image-analysis pipelines to investigate cellular forces during phagocytosis and examine the activity of therapeutic cytotoxic T cells. The project combines immune assays, high-resolution fluorescence imaging, programming and quantitative analysis to study how immune cells generate and respond to physical forces.
The research environment brings together computational immunology, quantitative biology, advanced microscopy and translational immune research. The PhD student will work in a multidisciplinary setting involving image analysis, cell culture and fluorescent-imaging approaches, with supervision from Dr Daan Vorselen.
