PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Microfluidics in Portugal

This postdoctoral project focuses on self-assembled magnetic microrobots designed to improve the transport of a thrombolytic agent, t-PA, toward blood clots in an in vitro stroke-related setting. The work addresses the challenge that clot obstruction limits drug diffusion, and seeks to combine propulsion, guidance, and controlled release in a microfluidic environment. The researcher will contribute to the development of an autopilot and steering system for the magnetic micro-swimmers, while also...

The postdoctoral researcher will join the PLUME_2 consortium, a multidisciplinary project developing an organ-on-chip platform that integrates blood and lymphatic vessels to measure interstitial flows in real time and investigate tissue homeostasis. The work is centered on the connective tissue compartment of the device, with a focus on building and optimizing its matrix composition using exogenous materials and/or endogenous deposition by cells, on cellularized or devitalized tissues. The posit...
