PhD fellowship in translational tissue engineering for urethral reconstructions at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Julianne Marie Center, Rigshospitalet, within a research environment focused on paediatric surgery, urology, and tissue engineering. The project addresses severe congenital malformations of the urinary and genital systems, with a specific focus on developing autologous tissue-engineered grafts for male urethral reconstruction. The work aims to support reconstructive surgery in ...

This PhD project focuses on developing and evaluating endolysin-based therapies against implant-associated biofilm infections. The work is part of the NWO-funded EPIC consortium, which brings together ACTA, the University of Twente, Micreos, LipoCoat, and clinical partners to develop endolysin-loaded nanocarriers for preventing and treating infections linked to prosthetic implants. You will investigate how novel endolysin formulations perform against clinically relevant staphylococcal pathogens,...

CIC biomaGUNE is offering a PhD position in the Bionanoplasmonics Laboratory in San Sebastián, Spain, within the ERC-Synergy CHIRAL-PRO project. The research examines how amyloid proteins interact and assemble with chiral gold nanoparticles under different physicochemical conditions. The doctoral researcher will investigate how metabolites, salt ions, pH, and membrane composition influence the nanoscale diffusion, forces, topography, and assembly dynamics of amyloid proteins. A central method wi...
