Ruchika Anand

PhD opportunity in mitochondrial biology and human iPSC models at the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) . The project is in the research group of Ruchika Anand , Group Leader and Principal Investigator, and focuses on how mitochondrial architecture and function influence cellular physiology and disease. The PhD project will use human iPSC-based models to investigate mechanisms linking mitochondrial defects to cellular dysfunction and disease. Ideal applicants are motivated, curious, and excited by mechanistic biological questions. A background in human iPSC work is described as a strong advantage. The post is for a PhD student and is set to start in 2027 . Application deadline: 15 October 2026. How to apply: Send a motivation letter, CV, and relevant academic documents to [email protected] . Research keywords: mitochondrial biology, mitochondrial disease mechanisms, human iPSC models, cell biology, metabolism, human disease models.
