Monikudosmallintamisen huippuyksikkö (CoEBoc) hakee 6-12 tutkimusapulaista.
Monikudosmallintamisen huippuyksikkö on kuuden Tampereen yliopistossa toimivan tutkimusryhmän muodostama poikkitieteellinen tutkimuskeskus. Huippuyksikkömme tavoitteena on yhdistää teknologisten ja biologisten tieteiden osaamista uudenlaisen body-on-chip -konseptin kehittämiseksi. Body-on-chipillä tarkoitetaan soluviljelylaitteistoa, jossa itse soluviljelmien lisäksi on tekniikkaa solujen stimuloimiseksi sekä toiminnan monitoroimiseksi. Laitteisto on yleensä rakennettu mikrofluidististen alustan päälle, joka mahdollistaa automatisoidun soluviljelynesteen kierrättämisen sekä mahdollisen lääkeainesyötön. Huippuyksikkömme tavoitteena on rakentaa ihmiskehon toimintoja jäljittelevä monikudosmalli ihmisen kudosten perusbiologian tutkimiseen sekä systeemisten sairauksien että traumojen mallintamiseen.
Tehtävänkuvaus
Tutkimusapulaisen tehtävä muodostuu erilaisista monikudosmallintamiseen liittyvistä laboratoriotyötehtävistä.
