hace 1 mes


Barcelona, Barcelona, España Somma A tiempo completo
Research Opportunity:

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team at Somma, working on a fully funded project focused on developing advanced extracellular matrix platforms for iPSC-derived spinal cord organoids.

This project aims to address current limitations in iPSC-based models of the spinal cord by creating and applying ECM biomaterials tailored to specific stages of spinal cord development and disease modeling.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in biomaterials, tissue engineering, or neuroscience, and experience working in a wet lab setting.

We value candidates who enjoy working collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team, have strong problem-solving skills, and can effectively communicate their research findings through both oral and written presentations.

Main Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop novel ECM platforms, including hydrogel-based matrices with bioactive sequences and structured scaffolds.
  • Perform comprehensive biochemical, structural, and functional analysis of the developed ECM platforms.
  • Apply the optimized ECM platforms to advance the fidelity of iPSC-derived spinal cord models for studying neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases.

Requirements:

  • Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Tissue Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • Experience working in a wet lab setting, familiarity with biomaterials, stem cell culture, or 3D biofabrication techniques.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, effective communication, and teamwork abilities.
