Offer Description
Project overview:
Did you know that our bone marrow yields colossal cells that actively fragment into pieces? These fragments tirelessly patrol our blood vessels, serving as a vital defense against bleeding.
MEKanics aims to unravel the mechanistic cell biology of megakaryocytes and platelets in 3D tissue environments to drive innovative therapies for controlling platelet production and function. By combining cell biological and biophysical approaches, we seek to uncover the mechanical principles governing platelet formation and activation, addressing a critical public health issue in Europe's aging population.
The ideal candidate will participate in a multidisciplinary project that integrates microengineering techniques, genetics, advanced live cell imaging, and intravital microscopy. Additionally, we will evaluate the clinical relevance of our findings using mouse models and patient samples.
Are you a highly motivated individual who enjoys taking on new challenges and thrives in a dynamic, international team environment? Join us now!
