Notices

A PhD position and a master thesis are available in Giovanna Brusatin lab (www.hymat.dii.unipd.it), for a research project in advances in regenerative medicine aimed at developing innovative 2D and 3D cell culture systems for single cell, multicellular systems study and organoid growth. The research activity is focused on biomaterials and advanced microtechnology design to expand and regenerate stem cells, to in vitro recreate models of the natural human microenvironment and to study diseases in particular cancer. The activity is carried out in collaboration with the Molecular Medicine Department od Padova, IFOM (IFOM Istituto FIRC di Oncologia Molecolare) and MBI (Mechanobiology Institute of Singapore) and is highly interdisciplinary. Therefore, candidates may have (or be student of) one of the following master degrees: Science or Engineering of Materials, Chemistry, Biotechnology.
