Postdoc position in the development of in vitro models of the BBB to investigate the efficacy of innovative biotherapeutics against CNS diseases
Vor 4 Tagen
Job description
In this project, we aim at exploring how in vitro models can be leveraged to improve preclinical drug selection, in particular for gene therapy development. Building on the group expertise in blood-brain-barrier platforms, the postdoc will develop new in vitro models of the human and mouse blood-brain-barrier and benchmark the in vitro models for preclinical and clinical investigations. After validation of the models, the postdoc will work in close collaboration with researchers at Novartis AG to test whether the developed models can be used to expedite the selection of candidate therapeutics, in particular for gene therapy.
Your profile
The successful candidateshould have a background in bioengineering and biotechnology or related fields, with a preference for experience with microfluidics and advanced in vitro models, transport across endothelial barriers, and viral vectors. Experience in optical microscopy is highly beneficial. Further, knowledge of standard molecular biology techniques and NGS technologies will be considered advantageous for this position. Good communication skills and a proactive work attitude are required for working in the interdisciplinary field of preclinical testing and drug development. The Postdoc must be able to fluently communicate in English (oral and written) and be willing to work in a highly interactive and collaborative international environment. The researcher will work at the intersection of academic and industrial research with access to resources and expertise from both institutions.
Academic excellence, a professional work attitude, and a self-driven nature are expected. The position is fully funded for initially 2 years, an extension to up to 4 years is possible. The starting date is flexible but must be before 10-.
