PhD position: Spectroscopic optical coherence tomography for non-invasive blood analysis University of Twente in Netherlands

The University of Twente is advertising a PhD position on spectroscopic optical coherence tomography for non-invasive blood analysis . The project focuses on developing and applying advanced optical imaging and spectroscopy methods to analyse blood without invasive sampling. This research combines biomedical engineering, optical diagnostics, imaging, and medical science. A doctoral researcher would contribute to the investigation of how spectroscopic optical coherence tomography can provide clin...

This PhD project in the Vorselen Lab at University Medical Center Utrecht focuses on the biophysics of cellular immunity . The research explores how mechanical forces regulate immune function, with particular attention to how cells receive physical information and how cellular forces shape immune processes in health and disease. You will work on developing new technologies and analysis approaches to study immune cell mechanics. A major part of the project is building new analysis pipelines to in...

Master’s internship in synthetic cell research at AMOLF’s Physics of Cellular Interactions (Ganzinger) group in Amsterdam. The project is part of EVOLF, a large Dutch research consortium working toward building a fully functional synthetic cell from the bottom up. The research focuses on the PURE system—Protein Synthesis Using Recombinant Elements—a well-defined cell-free transcription-translation platform used in synthetic biology. You will investigate how efficiently PURE components can be enc...

This PhD project at Maastricht University and Maastricht UMC+ explores how the smallest blood vessels in the brain contribute to dementia and the clearance of harmful waste products from brain tissue. The work is part of the MODEM consortium, which studies the biological mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of dementia. You will investigate the neurovascular unit, with a particular focus on how capillaries interact with surrounding brain tissue and how microvascular function may relat...

This research fellowship at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) focuses on ophthalmic devices and the regulatory science needed to evaluate them more effectively. The project centers on innovative eye-care technologies such as diagnostic retinal imagers, prostheses, lasers, intraocular lenses, and corneal cross-linking approaches, with an emphasis on improving how safety and performance are assessed for emerging devices and materials.
