Your position
The project aims at developing new scientific approaches, with associated biological basis and clinical translation trajectory, for repair of osteochondral tissues.
The candidate is expected to:
- Design and test bioengineering concepts for the generation of osteochondral grafts in a clinically relevant size
- Investigate the postulated biological mode of action of the grafts
- Develop release criteria and validate the associated assays (viability, potency, identity, purity) according to cell based medicinal product guidelines
- Support in developing regulatory documentation and manufacturing protocols
- Organize and conduct animal studies to generate pre-clinical data
Your profile
- A PhD in Biomedical Science or a closely related field
- Strong motivation and interest to work in basic and translational research
