The Nanobioengineering group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a Pre-doctoral Researcher to work in the project “Personalizing pediatric cancer treatment with kinome analyses, cell-based functional assays and microfluidics”. The goal of this translational PhD thesis is to combine cell-based functional analyses of cancer cells to better understand what are the main signaling pathways ensuring pediatric tumors´ survival and find new treatments to eradicate them.

Researchers at IBEC and MIT have shown that cells could use their environment to mechanically communicate with each other within tissues. It’s a bit like when an army cadet pulls some rope netting taut so that his friend can safely ascend.To nourish our organs and tissues, cells need to constantly detect and respond to the mechanical stimuli from their environment. Generally, cells that make up the tissues in our bodies are immersed in an extracellular matrix (ECM), a biopolymer made of proteins and glycoproteins such as collagen or fibrin. This ECM provides the cells with a way to interact with other cells, obtain nutrients, eliminate waste and ultimately form an integral and functional tissue.
