PhD position on engineering of machine perfusion platforms for organ and tissue culture

The Macromolecular Engineering Laboratory (Prof. Mark W. Tibbitt) within the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering (D-MAVT) at ETH Zürich, Switzerland engineers and applies advanced polymeric materials and medical devices for a range of biomedical and industrial uses. The recent focus of the includes the development of: (i) rational design of dynamic polymer networks; (ii) (bio)material processing; (iii) organ perfusion and regeneration; (iv) tools to study mechanobiology and cellmatrix interactions; and (v) engineered drug delivery systems. The lab is composed of a highly interdisciplinary and international team of motivated researchers. To expand on our expertise in machine perfusion device design and extend our platforms to new biological systems, we are recruiting a full-time (100%) doctoral candidate with a background in electrical or mechanical engineering, wi...
