Offer Description

JOB DESCRIPTION (BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ROLE AND LOCATION)

Postdoctoral researcher or PhD researcher in the field of Bioengineering, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Chemical Eng., Biochemistry, Materials Sci. or similar

The Cipitria Lab – Bioengineering in Regeneration and Cancer at Biogipuzkoa Health Research Institute, San Sebastián-Donostia, Spain (https://cipitrialab.com ) is looking for a postdoctoral or PhD researcher. In our group, we aim to understand how biophysical and biochemical properties of native extracellular matrix and synthetic biomaterials guide cell response in regeneration, cancer dormancy and bone metastasis. Biogipuzkoa is located within the structure University Hospital Donostia-Onkologikoa.

Funded by an ERC CoG grant (https://doi.org/10.3030/101123883 ), the main objective of DORMATRIX is to engineer breast cancer dormancy as a collective emergent phenomenon using biomaterials-based dormancy-on-a-chip devices. In this project, you will model in vitro breast cancer micro-units applying biophysical principles with novel biomaterials.
