About this position
The University of Limerick’s Bernal Institute is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in vascular cell biology and 3D cell biology for the INCENSE-2 research project.
Co-funded by the Rinn Pharma & Biopharma Centre and conducted with Cook Medical, the project is developing a human, flow-conditioned model of the arterial wall. The model is designed to enable real stents and drug coatings to be tested before animal studies.
The successful researcher will lead the cell-biology component of the engineered vessel. The work involves building a three-cell human arterial tissue within a collagen scaffold under flow, characterising cellular responses to the scaffold and its extracellular matrix, and assessing tissue responses to stent deployment and drug exposure.
The position is based in the Faculty of Science & Engineering, Department of Chemical Science, within the University of Limerick’s research-led and interdisciplinary environment. The project offers an opportunity to contribute to advanced vascular tissue modelling, scaffold-based tissue engineering, and preclinical evaluation of cardiovascular devices.
