Job description

We are seeking a highly-motivated scientist to join our collaborative multi-disciplinary team. The post holder will be working towards developing an organoid perfusion bioreactor to enable the study of microvascular perfusion, a functional parameter critical for microangiopathy progression. Based on the flow patterns and structural characteristics of a dysfunctional microvasculature, the post holder will generate a ‘digital twin’ model of vascular leakage.

The post is funded by the King’s College London British Heart Foundation (BHF) Centre of Research Excellence, a Centre designed to nurture interdisciplinary collaborations and bench-to-bedside projects in cardiovascular research. The post is a pump-priming initiative with strong translational potential that will employ state of the art technologies such as regenerative medicine/ iPS cells, organoids, computational modelling of disease and tissue engineering systems.
