PhD candidate in biofabrication, optogenetics and synthetic biology technologies

Are you interested in developing the latest biotechnology and biofabrication technologies? Join our research team!

In this PhD position, you will conduct research within the biofabrication team, with a specific focus on developing novel biofabrication and bioprinting technologies to control tissue vascularization. Biofabrication combines advanced 3D fabrication technologies with cells and biomaterials to generate living tissues and human-relevant tissue models.

Your job

In this ERC-funded project, you will join the Levato research group at the Regenerative Medicine Center Utrecht, where you will develop new strategies to vascularize engineered constructs.

This project focuses on developing engineered stem cells and synthetic biology tools to guide tissue-specific vascularization within human organoid-based engineered tissues, and to capture and understand healthy and diseased vascular conditions in the context of diabetes. You w...
