At the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Clinical Dentistry (IKO), a PhD position (100 %) is available for a period of three (3) years. The position is linked to the large collaborative projects financed by Olav Thon Foundation, Norway. The project is titled “Let`s make bone – 3D printing as a tool for bone regeneration”. The position is funded by The University of Bergen.

About the project/work tasks:

The position is allocated to the projects aimed for development of bioinks that can be used in bone tissue engineering. The main objective of the project is to engineer a 3D printed composite scaffolds that could contain bioprinted stem cells as bioinks for functional bone regeneration.

Specific aims are:

• Use 3D Printing Technology (3DP) to produce implantable scaffolds with optimal composition and geometry for bone regeneration.
• Use 3D Bioprinting (3DBP) methods to mimic structural and cellular composition of bone.
• Study if 3DP-3DBP hybrid structures could be used to facilitate bone regeneration by combining benefits from both technologies, i.e. mechanical strength of 3DP scaffolds and cellular organization and bioactivity provided by 3DBP.
• Compare in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo results for generation of reliable methods for studying bone regeneration and predicting scaffold performance.

Qualifications and personal qualities:
