Scientific Collaborator in Vascular Biology
We are seeking a highly motivated scientific collaborator to join our research team investigating the role of gut microbiota-derived metabolites in cellular signaling processes, with a particular focus on aortic pathologies and endothelial integrity.
Project Overview:
This project aims to uncover how microbiota-derived metabolites influence the endothelial barrier function and neutrophil transmigration, with an emphasis on their implications in aortic disease development and progression. A key component of the project will also explore general metabolite-mediated signaling in the aortic endothelium, aiming to identify novel molecular pathways involved in vascular inflammation and remodeling.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
* Masters degree in biology, molecular/experimental medicine, biochemistry, or related field
* Strong interest in vascular biology, immunology, and/or microbiota research
* Strong methodological background with experience in cell culture (static and flow conditions), microscopy and molecular biology techniques (Western Blot, (RT) qPCR, cloning etc.)
* Committed mentoring
Benefits:
* Exciting projects
* Professional development and training
* Additional benefits
