PhD Student at the Pluripotency for organ regeneration Research Group
Application Deadline: 12/11/2021
Ref: PhD-NM
The Pluripotency for organ regeneration group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a PhD candidate to conduct her/his predoctoral training on kidney organoid applications to model congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). The aim of the project is to develop organoid-on-a-chip systems to build vascularized kidney organoids for CAKUT disease modeling. The PhD project will be conducted in the framework of the ERC-2020- Consolidator project entitled: “Engineering Kidney Organoids To Study The Interplay Between Tissue Mechanics And Metabolism: From Development To Disease” (ENGINORG).
Data límit: 29/10/2021


Nuria Montserrat, group leader at IBEC, is invited to the Onda Cero program “Más de uno”, where she shares her research with organoids to study diseases or replace damaged tissues and also explains the ability of the amphibian called axolotl to regenerate their own organs.
