The PROFI7 – Sustainable Biomedical and Toxicological Research (SUSBIO) project is looking for two Postdoctoral Research Fellows specializing in soft materials research with a solid background inmaterials science, chemistry, toxicology, and/or cell or molecular biology related to soft materials.The positions will be filled for a fixed-term period of three years.
SUSBIO is one of the profiling areas at Tampere University that was granted by the Research Council of Finland in the PROFI 7 Call. Several research groups from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology (MET) and the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (ENS) at Tampere University are participating in this multidisciplinary project that aims to emphasize and enhance the collaboration between research groups from these two faculties.
The key development subjects of the SUSBIO project are to emphasize and enhance cross-faculty collaboration between MET and ENS. Scientifically, the aim is to develop novel sustainable soft materials. Another aim is to develop advanced in vitro methods for studying human physiology and simulating complex disease mechanisms. These methods should be used to study soft materials or utilize soft materials. The goal is to find new ways to model the human body, allowing a deeper understanding of complex physiological processes, which will pave the way for the development of new therapies and diagnostics, and reduce the need for animal testing. In addition, with the help of new biodegradable functional materials, it could be possible to reduce the accumulation of microplastics in different living environments in the long term.
SUSBIO is divided into three key areas: 1) Sustainable Soft Materials Design and Fabrication provides resource-friendly fabrication methods for dynamically responsive soft materials with tailored chemical and mechanical properties (combined with ECM-mimicking biomaterials that degrade in a controlled manner), and development of animal-free cell culture media and conditions; 2) Integrated in vitro platforms for tissue-materials interfaces provides combination of technologies to construct complex in vitro platforms with quantitative manipulation and measurement capabilities (electrical, mechanical, and biochemical cellular responses), using a combination of soft responsive materials and lab-on-chip; and 3) Quantitative models for physiology and toxicology provides development of integrated quantitative models of human physiology, pathologies, and toxicology (e.g. cell monocultures, 3D-bioprinted co-cultures & tissue/organ-on-chip combined with data-rich measurements) to understand the evolution of the properties of micro- and nanoplastics in human cells and tissues. The gathered information will be used to influence regulatory acceptance pathways for the in vitro models, and the design of new materials.
Job description
We are seeking two talented and motivated postdoctoral researchers to develop soft materials and their experimental and sustainable research methods for biomedical and toxicological studies.

Suoliston Signaalinvälitys ja Epigenetiikka (ISE) -tutkimusryhmä keskittyy suoliston epiteelin kudostasapainoa ylläpitävien signaalinvälitysmekanismien tutkimiseen. Päätavoitteenamme on ymmärtää keliakian molekyylitason tautimekanismeja ja tunnistaa uusia lääkekohteita terapeuttista käyttöä varten. Teemme tiivistä yhteistyötä kansainvälisten lääkealan yritysten kanssa ja osallistumme aktiivisesti kliinisiin lääketutkimuksiin, joissa arvioidaan uusien hoitomuotojen tehoa keliakiaan. Lisäksi johdamme EU-rahoitteisen ENT1DEP-konsortion työpakettia, jossa kehitämme organoidi- ja solumalleja. Näiden mallien avulla tutkimme, kuinka suolistovirukset voivat altistaa yksilöitä keliakialle ja tyypin 1 diabetekselle.
Etsimme nyt motivoitunutta postdoc tutkijaa liittymään ISE-ryhmään osana Suomen Akatemian rahoittamaa CELIOMICS-tutkimushanketta.
Postdoc tutkija – CELIOMICS-hanke
Etsimme motivoitunutta postdoc tutkijaa liittymään monitieteiseen tutkimusryhmäämme, joka keskittyy keliakian tutkimukseen. Valittu henkilö analysoi ensisijaisesti RNA-sekvensointi- ja muita multiomiikkadatoja, joita tuotetaan CELIOMICS-hankkeessa sekä keliakian lääketutkimuksissa. Työ perustuu discovery science -lähestymistapaan, jossa tavoitteena on tuottaa uusia hypoteeseja monimutkaisista aineistoista.
Keskeiset tehtävät:
Multiomiikkadatan (esim. RNA-seq, ChIP-seq) integroitu analyysi uusien biologisten ilmiöiden tunnistamiseksi.
Osallistuminen keliakiapotilaista kerättävän suolisto-organoidibiopankin perustamiseen Tampereen alueella.
Laboratoriotyön toteuttaminen ja ohjaaminen, mukaan lukien:
Organoidien käsittely lääkeaihioilla.
Organoidien infektointi suolistoviruksilla.
Geeniekspression ja epigeneettisten muutosten analysointi edistyneillä sekvensointimenetelmillä.
Tutkimustulosten ja löydösten raportointi tutkimusryhmän johtajalle (PI)
Mahdollisuus osallistua myös eläinkokeisiin, joissa käytetään keliakian tautimekanismeja mallintavia transgeenisiä hiiriä.
Tämä tehtävä tarjoaa ainutlaatuisen mahdollisuuden työskennellä laskennallisen biologian, kokeellisen tutkimuksen ja kliinisen soveltamisen rajapinnassa ja edistää uusien hoitomuotojen kehittämistä keliakiaan.
