The role:
The desired candidate will provide as a service patient derived organoid (PDOs), mouse and human pluripotent 2D (monolayer) and 3D (organoids) stem cell differentiation procedures already established in the Unit and will execute CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing services. The candidate will set up specific 2D/3D differentiation and gene editing procedures upon user request for specific projects.
The candidate should be highly motivated, decisive, methodological, with accurate work habits and be a good team member. The ideal candidate has a strong ability to multi-task and has a service-oriented mentality. The position involves working some weekends and holiday days during the year.
The Unit:
The Tissue Engineering Facility is a scientific-technological Core Facility within the Core Facilities Programme. The goal of the Tissue Engineering Unit is to provide CRG, PRBB, and external researchers with the latest technologies used in the fields of stem cell biology, stem cell differentiation, organoid formation, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. It was created 8 years ago with the aim of helping the research community in performing Stem Cell and Organoids projects to increase the impact of Stem Cell and Organoid projects and applications. The Unit is constantly setting up new technologies that are emerging in the above fields.
