Senior Postdoctoral Position in Biomimetic Systems for cell engineering (Ref. SP-EM)


Application Deadline: 30/11/2015
Ref: SP-EM

The Biomimetic systems for cell engineering group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher to participate in the development of the project “Engineering Complex Intestinal Epithelial Tissue Models” (ERC-Consolidator Grant). The goal of this project is to engineer intestinal epithelial tissue models that mimic physiological characteristics found in in vivo human intestinal tissue, to open up new areas of research on human intestinal diseases. To do this, we propose to develop an experimental setup that combines microfabrication techniques, tissue engineering components and recent advances in intestinal stem cell research, exploiting stem cell self-organizing characteristics. We anticipate this setup to recapitulate the 3D morphology, the spatio-chemical gradients and the dynamic microenvironment of the living tissue. We expect the new device to prove useful in understanding cell physiology, adult stem cell behavior, and organ development as well as in modelling human intestinal diseases.

PhD Discussion Session: Ana María Solórzano and Joan Martí Muñoz

PhD Discussion sessions are open to all staff and researchers at all career stages, and are intended to help PhD students gain feedback from colleagues by presenting their research results and discussing them with each other, as well as with more experienced researchers.

Investigador del IBEC en la Cumbre Europea «Innovadores menores de 35»

MIT summitEl responsable de grupo del IBEC, Samuel Sánchez, fue uno de los expertos invitados a asistir a la Cumbre Europea Innovadores menores de 35 que tuvo lugar en Bruselas la semana pasada, una reunión de los ganadores europeos de la lista de innovadores menores de 35 de la MIT Technology Review.

Samuel dio una charla, “La Evolución de los Nanorobots”, durante el evento, al que asistieron los ganadores de prestigioso reconocimiento de Alemania, Bélgica, Francia, Italia y Polonia así como los de España. La cumbre pretendía crear una comunidad fuerte de esos innovadores que anualmente son reconocidos por la prestigiosa publicación del MIT para compartir sus conocimientos y experiencia en campos que van desde la nanotecnología a la energía para el software o el transporte.
