PhD studentship vacancy in Biophotonics and Biochemistry

By -
We are looking for highly motivated (bio)physicist to join the team as PhD student on the collaborative Project between the Laboratory of Biophysics and Bioanalysis (Prof. Dmitri Papkovsky) and SFI-funded Irish Photonic Integration Centre (IPIC, co-supervisor Prof. Stefan Andersson-Engels). The project aims to develop new type of macro widefield PLIM-FLIM system (based on the existing prototype), optimise the data processing and analysis algorithms and demonstrate it in multi-parametric imaging of oxygenation in cells, tissues and related samples.

Ideal candidate must have a good skills in physics, photo-optical instrumentation engineering, software, microscopy and of course be passionate about the emerging FLIM and PLIM methodologies.

More details and the information of how to apply can be found here:

Closing day for the applications - 20-Sep-2018.

Affordable microscopy of spheroid oxygenation (video protocol)

Our lab has published a new protocol paper, this time with the video, in the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE)! In this research method paper, we report the use of red/ near-infrared emitting biocompatible nanosensors to monitor oxygenation of the live multicellular spheroids (made of one or more cell types), together with the tracers of cell death. While this methodology is typically available only for users with 'high-end' PLIM microscopes and alike, we show that using of ratiometric readout with the red and near infrared emitting fluorescent nanosensors makes this possible on broadly available 'widefield' fluorescence microscope platforms. This method helps comparing oxygenation of spheroids, assessing this in a long-term and kinetic assays, comparing their variability and viability, essential in follow-up 3D printing applications. This is the first article in our collection ' Quantitative live cell imaging of 3D models' , guest-edited together with

Together with Prof. Margarida Barroso (Albany Medical College), we guest edit a collection of video protocols, hosted by the Journal of Visualised Experiments ( JoVE ), and  dedicated to the quantitative live cell imaging in 3D .  We expect bringing together some leaders and innovators in various aspects of the quantitative live fluorescence microscopies applied to ex vivo animal models, organoids and 3D engineered tissue blocks. The collection, which just has been started, can be assessed here .
