Doctoral student in Tissue Microenvironment Platform Development

Job description

Join our team to explore how inflamed tissues communicate with immune cells, and help develop new experimental platforms to understand these processes. About us The https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/life/ conducts research, innovation, and education to enable a biobased society and improve human health. We explore how biological systems, and innovative technologies can be used to convert biomass into valuable products. We use advanced computational technologies to discover how biomolecules and organisms function and interact. We pioneer new methods for prediction, prevention, diagnostics and treatment of diseases. About the research project This project focuses on understanding how biochemical and structural changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) during inflammation influence immune cell activation. You will develop controlled model systems that integrate tissues, ECM-modifying enzymes, and immune cells to study nanoscale alterations, glycosylation changes, and damage-associated signals (DAMPs). The platform enables systematic investigation of ECMimmune interactions and provides a foundation for designing future biomaterials and therapeutic strategies. Who we are looking fo...
