Metabolic Imaging & Tissue engineering Group News

Are you looking for a PhD and interested in advanced live cell microscopies? Perhaps in FLIM? In some of the best labs across EU and UK? With funded mobility? We have good news for you: within the Horizon-funded MSCA doctoral network we are hiring 12+2 PhD students. More information here . Apply via EURAXESS / FLIMagin3D website or for UK here  Twitter 

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.

Project title:  DEVELOPMENT OF BIONIC SENSOR MATERIALS FOR METABOLIC IMAGING IN REGENERATIVE MEDICINE Description: The Science Foundation Ireland funded four-year PhD studentship is available from the 01/09/2014 at the Laboratory of Biophysics and Bioanalysis under "Starting Investigator Research Grant" scheme led by Dr. Ruslan I. Dmitriev. A four-year PhD studentship position is available from 1/09/2014. The research project is on the development of novel luminescent oxygen and pH sensitive probes based on self-assembling viral nanoparticles. The biosensors produced will be characterised by spectroscopic and biochemical methods, and evaluated in 2D and 3D cell and tissue models by live imaging techniques, particularly Phosphorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (PLIM). The project involves multi-disciplinary approaches, chemical and synthetic biology, spectroscopy, molecular and cell biology, bio-imaging. Applicants are expected to attain first or upp...
