PhD Scholarship in High Throughput Organoid Tissue Systems

Organovir is an Innovative Training Network (ITN) that focuses on the use of organoid technology for viral pathogenesis studies and anti-viral testing. For this ITN we will provide 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) with the opportunity to be trained within a consortium of public and private experts that will enable them to lead innovation in the field of organoids for virus research. The starting date of the research projects is 1 September 2019.

In this specific project, we focus on making scalable hydrogel system for high throughput screening and increased cell or organoid functionalities.

The candidate will be responsible for the development of the system and testing the systems for compatibility with organoid cultures. The candidate is expected to be open to collaborations and actively participate in the training network.
