Post-doctoral Researcher: Molecular Characterization of the Connective Tissue Compartment in an Organ-on-Chip Platform CNRS in France

This postdoctoral project focuses on self-assembled magnetic microrobots designed to improve the transport of a thrombolytic agent, t-PA, toward blood clots in an in vitro stroke-related setting. The work addresses the challenge that clot obstruction limits drug diffusion, and seeks to combine propulsion, guidance, and controlled release in a microfluidic environment. The researcher will contribute to the development of an autopilot and steering system for the magnetic micro-swimmers, while also...

PhD opportunity in microfluidics , retinal models , and organ-on-chip development at the Microfluidics Innovation Center in Paris, France. The project focuses on building a benchtop microfluidic perfusion instrument that can keep living retinal tissue alive for weeks using a closed-loop medium circulation system, integrated sensors, and feedback control based on MIC’s flow-control technology. The research challenge is to recreate the low-oxygen conditions of diseased retina and turn the platform...

University College Dublin is advertising a 36-month postdoctoral position (PD level 1) in the Charles Institute of Dermatology with Associate Professor Seungkuk Ahn . The project is supported by an ERC grant and focuses on ECM hydrogels , organoids , human stem cell fate decisions , and organoid morphogenesis . The successful candidate will help develop species- and sex-specific 3D ECM hydrogels and study how these materials influence stem cell behavior and organoid development. This is a strong...
