Our research team is seeking a Medical Researcher to contribute to the development of an advanced therapy medical product (ATMP) for cartilage regeneration.
About the Project
The project aims to create a 3D-printed gene-activated scaffold for cartilage repair. We are looking for a highly skilled researcher with expertise in tissue engineering, material science, and genetics.
The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team in our Tissue Engineering Research Group, led by Professor Fergal O'Brien. The role will involve developing a working prototype of the ATMP, validating its efficacy through in vitro and in vivo testing, and contributing to commercialization activities.
Responsibilities
* Fabrication and characterization of scaffolds using 3D-printing technologies
* In vitro testing of ATMP biocompatibility
* In vivo implantation of ATMP and subsequent tissue analysis
* Development of Intellectual Property applications and research publications relevant to the project
Requirements
To be considered for this position, you must have:
* A PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science, Immunology, or a related field
* Demonstrated knowledge and expertise within the field, including publication records, patents, or research awards
* Ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a multi-disciplinary team
* Proficiency with basic molecular biology techniques, such as rt-qPCR and immunohistochemistry
