Postdoc position at the Department of Developmental BioEngineering
Universiteit Twente
Hours40 hr.Salary indicationSalary gross/monthly
based on full-time€ 3,877 – € 5,090Deadline23 Aug 2024In previous work we have developed an innovative micro-physiological cartilage-on-chip model allowing the controlled mechanical actuation of chondrocytes embedded in a cell laden hydrogel. This model is developed as a single unit which limits its use in medium to high throughput drug screening programs for the development of dearly needed drugs for osteoarthritis. The goal of this project is to develop a high-throughput 3D cartilage-on-chip model enabling the simultaneous testing of 24 chip units in a single 96 well plate format. You will focus on producibility and processability of the new model and select materials and process techniques for the high throughput and reproducible manufacturing of this new device. In addition, you will develop a working protocol for the operation of this new model including strategies for the analysis of the model using fluorescent and/or bioluminescent imaging. In this project you will closely collaborate with TNO and the company chiron biotechnologies.Your profile
