In the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Daniela Duarte Campos at the Center for Molecular Biology (ZMBH) the following position is to be filled with 19,75h/week:
Laboratory Technician (MTA/BTA) 3D Cell Culture (f/m/d)
For participating in a BMBF NanoMatFutur grant focused on the development of a new in vivo bioprinting technology to fabricate human corneal tissue directly at the operating room.
Corneal damage as a result of injury, infection or hereditary corneal defects can cause pain, blurred vision and eventually blindness. When corneal damage and vision problems cannot be corrected with non-invasive treatments such as eye drops, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, corneal transplants are the ultimate treatment option. This project opens a new way of clinical treatment, for which currently only allografts are used. In short, our concept uses the patient's cells, for example stromal keratocytes differentiated from bone marrow cells, and combines them with a hydrogel that is loaded into a bioprinter. After removing damaged tissue, the surgeon will print the cell-hydrogel mixture layer-by-layer on the patient's eye to create a new cornea.
The Bioprinting Lab investigates biofabrication technologies and biomaterials suitable for in vivo and in vitro tissue and organ engineering, and their impact on the structure and function of natural and synthetic living tissues.
Your task will be to support the cell and tissue culture activities for in vivo bioprinting of corneal tissue. The work will involve a variety of techniques, including but not limited to:
We offer an international and attractive work environment in the Bioprinting Lab at the ZMBH. The salary is based on TV-L scale. This part-time (19,75h/week) position is limited until December 31, 2026. The position is available for immediate start.
