The Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale (EOC) and the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) are seeking applications for the position of
PhD student in Biofabrication/Vascular Biology with a focus on brain organoid vascularization
The Regenerative Medicine Division is part of the Institute for Translational Research, Faculty of Biomedical Sciences, Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) and Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale (EOC), Switzerland.
Strategic research areas of the Division are: in vitro disease modeling through biofabrication (e.g. age-related diseases, cancer metastases, musculo-skeletal diseases); design of novel technologies for drug screening; personalized medicine applications using human tissue biopsies. To promote the advancement of these research areas, the Regenerative Medicine Division combines microfluidics and microphysiological systems, 3D (bio)printing and computational simulations.
We invite applications for a PhD position for conducting research in the project entitled “Enhancing human brain organoid complexity through biofabrication of a perfusable vasculature”.
