Post-doc Development of a 3D in vitro spinal cord model for the study of axon regeneration

Position: Post-doctoral Position

Deadline: 22 January 2024

Employment Start Date: 1 April 2024

Contract Length: one year

City: Torino

Country: Italy

Institution: University of Torino

Department: Neuroscience

Description:

The project aims to develop in vitro, by means of 3D bio-printing, a complex three-dimensional model of the spinal cord, including different types of neurons and glial cells. This platform will be useful for studying how axons degenerate in the event of injury and for testing new regenerative approaches.

We are looking for young motivated graduated students or post-docs with a degree in Biology, Biotechnology, Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacy, Medical Engineering or related disciplines interested in basic research.

Suggested skills: experience in cell cultures, immunocytochemistry, molecular analysis and microscopy
