Postdoctoral Researcher in translational control, Bern

Institute for Regenerative Medicine

Postdoctoral Researcher in translational control 100-100%

The Sendoel lab studies the role of translational control in health and disease. Our lab employs a variety of in vivo techniques to investigate stem cell behavior in homeostasis, clonal expansions and tumorigenesis. We are looking for a highly motivated and independent postdoc to join an ERC-funded project aimed at advancing our single-cell ribosome profiling technologies in cancer. For further information about the lab, please visit Institute for Regenerative Medicine (IREM) combines cutting‑edge stem cell and bioengineering research to advance regenerative therapies. Based on bio‑inspired principles and novel biomimetic technologies, IREM research focuses on the replacement and/or regeneration of dysfunctional human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish physiological functions. Thematic priorities are translational regenerative technologies, cell‑based regeneration and biomimetic tissue replacement, gene and cell therapy, stem cell biology and cancer, and translational neuroregeneration.
