Postdoctoral researcher in scalable manufacturing of retinal cells from pluripotent stem cells

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

The Lanner Lab, which is part of the division of obstetrics and gynecology within the department of clinical science, intervention and technology (CLINTEC), has developed a method to produce retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPEs) for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration. Transplantation of RPE cells can hopefully slow the progression of the disease but can never restore lost vision. To restore vision, new photoreceptors are also required. This project aims to develop a scalable bioprocess strategy to generate RPE and photoreceptor cells and micro for efficient engraftment in the retina.

Your mission

As a postdoctoral researcher you will work in our team to establish a method for differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into retinal cells and tissues. The work will specifically employ scalable culture modalities and bioreactors. This work will be unde...
