Postdoc at the Pluripotency for organ regeneration Research Group


Application Deadline: 24/02/2019
Ref: PD-NM

The Pluripotency for organ regeneration group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a Postdoctoral researcher to develop his/her project on the development of a Modelling Diabetic Nephropathy targeting DNA methylation: engineering the epigenome in kidney” funded by the EFSD/Boehringer Ingelheim European Research Programme in Microvascular Complications of Diabetes.

IBEC researchers generate mini-kidneys vascularized from stem cells

Researchers from the IBEC have created, for the first time, 3D organoid cultures from pluripotent stem cells, which resemble human embryonic kidney tissue during the second trimester of pregnancy.

Using biomaterials that mimic the embryonic microenvironment, researchers have also achieved mini-kidneys with relevant features for immediate use in renal disease modeling.
A study published today in Nature Materials reports how researchers from IBEC have created organoids, or mini-organs, that resemble the human embryonic kidney, and how these 3D cultures mimic essential aspects during the formation of the kidney, such as distribution, functionality and specific organization of cells.
