Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Universität Bern Vollzeit

**PhD Student in Immunology**
**100%**:
**Start date**: Available immediately.
**Workplace**: Department of BioMedical Research, Visceral Surgery and Medicine, Visceral Surgery Research Labs, University of Bern, Switzerland.
**Project title**: Prevent scar-tissue mediated occlusion of intraperitoneal devices

Background and Motivation

Research Work

The overarching hypothesis to be tested is that implanted peritoneal devices lose their patency due to immune-mediated excessive scarring. We hypothesize that this process is induced by the foreign material of the device, the injected pharmaceuticals, or a combination thereof. We aim to:

- Decipher the peritoneal immune response to foreign material, large-molecule pharmaceuticals, and a combination thereof.
- Establish a surgical in vivo open and closed loop system to model loss of patency
- Improve peritoneal patency by reverting excessive scar formation

**Relevance**
Uncovering new strategies to keep devices in the peritoneal cavity open, will have significant relevance for several the development of biomedical devices.

**The PIs**
Joel Zindel is a clinician-scientist working 50% in the lab and 50% as a surgeon in the hospital. He has been trained in IVM in the lab of Paul Kubes (University of Calgary). He is passionate about patients, macrophages and microscopes and his mission is to heal peritoneal adhesions.
Daniel Candinas chairs the Department for Visceral Surgery and Medicine. He is passionate about enterpreneurship, has successfully launched several start-up companies, and is very well connected with MedTech industrial partners.
In mentoring you, we hope to unlock your potential as inventor.

**Requirements**:
Imagination, the will to invent, and entrepreneurship. Experience with in vivo (mouse or rat) experimental models and a background in microscopy or bioinformatics (R or Python, Java) are of advantage. Good communications skills in English and a master's degree in medicine or life sciences is required.

**Salary**
Employment by the University of Bern. Salary according to Swiss National Science Foundation.

**Intellectual property**
We closely work together with potential commercial partners and protection of intellectual property (patent filing) may delay-but not prohibit-the scientific publication of the results.

What can the student expect?

We offer an opportunity to advance a technological barrier that is limiting several exciting new biomedical therapies. While academically funded and conducted, the project is closely linked to interested industrial partners. It offers training in immunology, IVM, and translational research. You will learn to use state of the art image analysis techniques (Imaris, ImageJ). We offer support by our group-intern bioinformaticians; they are great teachers and will help you develop your bioinformatic skills (R). You will be enrolled in the graduate school for biomedical sciences at the University of Bern and become part of a great group of researchers in a fun and sociable environment. We like to get together and our lab is situated in an extremely lovely, small city in the heart of Europe.
