Jacek Wychowaniec

Jacek Wychowaniec is announcing the launch of his independent research group at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) , starting 1 August 2026, in the Department of Green Technology . The group will work at the interface of chemistry, biology, and engineering , with a strong focus on biomaterials , self-assembling peptides , immunomodulation , and regenerative therapies . The research direction is linked to the ERC Starting Grant DeCodeGels , which aims to decode and program biomaterial–immune system interactions for improved healing. The project description highlights injectable self-assembling peptide hydrogels designed to balance adhesion, degradation, immune-cell invasion, and tissue regeneration, with applications in tendon regeneration and chronic inflammation. Openings are advertised for a PhD student and a postdoctoral researcher . The post is especially relevant for candidates interested in biomaterials , immunoengineering , regenerative medicine , and translational research. No detailed eligibility criteria are provided in the post, but the message emphasizes motivation, teamwork, and enthusiasm for interdisciplinary science. Funding support is indicated through the ERC Starting Grant, but the post does not specify stipend, salary, tuition, or other financial terms. Applicants should use the linked job pages on the SDU Career Site to submit applications. The post also invites interested candidates to reach out or share the opportunity.
