Description Associate Research Scientist position is available immediately in the Laboratory for Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering directed by Dr. Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic. We are looking for a talented, enthusiastic and highly accomplished investigator with strong experience in cardiac tissue engineering and stem cells. The work will involve (a) Use of bioreactors for cultivation and maturation of iPS-derived human cardiac tissues, (b) engineering of human cardiac tissue models to study cardiac patho/physiology, (c) stem cell culture and differentiation into cardiomyocytes, cardiac fibroblasts, and endothelial cells, (d) cardiac tissue characterization and benchmarking to clinical data. Strong experimental skills and published experience in the area of the project are a must. The investigator is expected to work closely with lab members and collaborators, and help supervise junior investigators working on the project.  Engineering and maturation of human cardiac...

Description Associate Research Scientist position is available immediately in the Laboratory for Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering directed by Dr. Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic. We are looking for a talented, enthusiastic, and highly accomplished investigator with experience in organs-on-chip platforms for studies of systemic pathologies. The work will involve (a) differentiation of iPS cells, (b) engineering of bone marrow, lung, and vascular tissues to study multi-organ crosstalk, (c) studies of metastatic progression of primary cancer cells, and (d) studies of the tissue cross talk in response to hypoxia. Strong experimental skills and published experience in the area of the project are a must. The investigator is expected to work closely with lab members and collaborators, and help supervise junior investigators working on the project.  Development of multi-organ-on-chip systems for studies of cancer  -  20% Studies of bone marrow, lung, and cardiac, liver...
