Job Summary
The ERC-funded Cipitria Lab – Bioengineering in Regeneration and Cancer at Biogipuzkoa Health Research Institute, San Sebastián, Spain (https://cipitrialab.com) is looking for a research assistant or postdoc to establish a collaboration with the clinic and the workflow with patient-derived cells and tissue. We aim to understand how biophysical and biochemical properties of native extracellular matrix and synthetic biomaterials guide cell response in regeneration, cancer dormancy and bone metastasis.
Funded by the LAB AECC from the Spanish Association for Cancer Research, the project aims at targeting dormant disseminated cancer cells to prevent metastatic relapse and developing biomaterial-based 3D bioengineered models for novel therapies.
