Sina Kheiri

McGill University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher and PhD/Master’s students to join Sina Kheiri’s translational oncology laboratory and collaborate with surgeons and clinicians in the Division of Thoracic Surgery at the Research Institute of the MUHC (RI-MUHC). The lab develops human tissue models and microphysiological systems to investigate cancer development and treatment. The research environment connects bioengineering and cancer biology with clinical expertise, enabling projects that model disease processes in experimentally relevant human systems. The postdoctoral project focuses on vascularized models of esophageal cancer . Graduate projects center on microphysiological systems, organ-on-a-chip technologies and tissue engineering for cancer research . These opportunities are suited to researchers interested in developing advanced in vitro models and applying them to translational oncology. The lab works closely with clinical teams in thoracic surgery, providing an interdisciplinary setting that links engineered tissue platforms with cancer research and patient-oriented medical investigation.
