The job offer is associated with a PostDoc position (Research Assistant) in Molecular biology/ Stem cell biology field, within research project funded from MAESTRO 11 Program from the National Science Center, NCN, PL).
The position is opened in the Stem Cell Team (led by Prof. Ewa Zuba-Surma, PhD, DSc) at the Department of Cell Biology at the Faculty of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Biotechnology (FBBB JU) at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow (PL).
Description
MAESTRO 11 grant entitled “Molecular and cellular mechanisms of pro-regenerative potential of stem cell- derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in ischemic myocardial injuries: Role of microRNAs” will focus on the role of selected miRNAs carried by EVs from genetically modified iPSCs and MSCs, in various types of cardiac tissue cells both in vitro and in vivo, including examining regenerative properties of these EVs in acute and chronic myocardial injury models.
The main role of the Postdoc will be to create genetically modified iPSCs and MSCs with modified expression of selected miRNAs and their molecular characterization.
Requirements
Skills/Qualifications
