Are you passionate about cutting-edge research in regenerative medicine and musculoskeletal health? We are an interdisciplinary team dedicated to exploring how erythrocyte development and function impact musculoskeletal pathologies and regeneration. Our mission is to pioneer smart, programmable biomaterials that redefine regenerative medicine.

About Our Research

Our lab focuses on:

• Musculoskeletal Tissue Oxygenation: Unveiling the roles of erythrocytes and erythroid progenitors in musculoskeletal health, injury, and disease.

• Innovative Biomaterial Design: Developing materials that modulate cellular crosstalk and restore tissue niches for advanced regenerative therapies.

• Key Challenges: Addressing cartilage restoration and bone regeneration to solve critical problems in musculoskeletal regenerative medicine.

Open Positions

We are expanding our team and looking for talented individuals at various levels to contribute to this exciting work:

1. Staff Scientist/Lab Manager or Lab Technician 

   • Manage lab operations, lead research initiatives, and support team members in reaching their objectives. You will oversee all lab-owned equipment, including the flow cytometer and immunofluorescence systems. Additionally, you will establish and lead the oxygen measurement unit, organizing it to facilitate collaborative projects.

2. Research Lab Specialist/Flow Cytometry Specialist - APPLY HERE

   • Contribute significantly to single-cell studies and molecular research through advanced flow cytometry and sequencing techniques. Develop a diverse range of in vitro cell culture models and establish a robust pipeline for studying patient samples. 

3. Vet or Animal Technician - APPLY HERE

   • Join our lab and contribute to refinement initiatives, participate in diverse research projects, advance animal care standards, and support translational research efforts.

4. Postdoctoral Fellow or Veterinarian (DVM/PhD) - APPLY HERE

   • Engage in groundbreaking research within a collaborative and innovative environment. Preferred areas of expertise include bioengineering, biomaterials development, chemical engineering, cell and molecular biology, flow cytometry and cell imaging, as well as (large) animal models.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a team at the forefront of regenerative medicine research.

• Collaborate on projects with real-world impact on musculoskeletal health.

• Access state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge technologies.

• Join a vibrant, supportive, and interdisciplinary scientific community.
