PhD Position in Spectroscopic Optical Coherence Tomography for Non-Invasive Blood Analysis University of Twente in Netherlands

This PhD project develops spectroscopic optical coherence tomography (sOCT) for non-invasive hemoglobin analysis in newborns and adults. The research addresses the clinical challenge of anemia monitoring, where repeated invasive blood sampling can contribute to blood loss and delayed treatment decisions. The proposed sOCT approach aims to separate vascular from non-vascular tissue in the skin so that hemoglobin determination can be confined to blood-containing microvasculature. You will work on ...

Amsterdam UMC is offering a PhD position in spatial proteomics focused on frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The project aims to uncover the molecular and cellular causes of FTD that drive disease onset and early progression, with the long-term goal of supporting evidence-based treatment design. In this PhD project, you will design and execute proteomics studies using human postmortem brain tissue from sporadic FTD patients and human iPSC-derived neurons. The research combines highly innovative sing...

PhD position in the Artegiani & Hendriks group at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in Utrecht, Netherlands. This project focuses on human liver function and disease, with an emphasis on metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), liver metabolism, and mechanisms that may contribute to liver cancer. The research uses human organoids, CRISPR-Cas tools, single-cell RNA sequencing, and advanced imaging to study liver biology in relevant in vitro models. The pos...

PhD in Bioreactor-Based Preservation of Human Heart Valves at Eindhoven University of Technology in Eindhoven, Netherlands. This four-year doctoral project will develop dynamic bioreactors that preserve human donor heart valves outside the body. The research will investigate extended ex vivo culture, valve homeostasis, flow and pressure conditions, mechanical stimulation, immune-cell responses, and immune-protective technologies. The goal is to support living cardiovascular tissues and improve t...
