About this position
Professor Sarah Hedtrich is establishing a dynamic Pharmaceutical Biotechnology research laboratory at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. The lab investigates inflammatory and genetic diseases affecting human epithelia and develops therapeutic strategies through interdisciplinary research at the interface of pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical engineering and medicine.
The postdoctoral project, Bioengineering Complex Disease Models of Epithelia, will generate, validate and apply human epithelial models, including organ-on-chip systems, to emulate inflammatory and infectious diseases of the skin and lungs. Following model development, the research will examine disease mechanisms in single-state and multi-organ settings.
The successful researcher will have scope to develop independent research projects and ideas while contributing to the lab’s translational objective of moving technologies from bench to bedside. The position offers an opportunity to establish an independent scientific profile and receive tailored career planning within a collaborative, forward-looking research environment.
