The job offer concerns a position within the First Team FENG project funded by the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP), titled “Opracowanie dwuskładnikowego hybrydowego biotuszu do biodruku 3D unaczynionych konstruktów”/“Development of a two-component hybrid bioink for 3D bioprinting vascularized constructs” (Project No. FENG.02.02-IP.05-0045/23). The project is supervised by the Principal Investigator, Dr. Jagoda Litowczenko-Cybulska. Project has received funding from European Funds and is carried out within the First Team programme of the Foundation for Polish Science co-financed by the European Union under the European Funds for Smart Economy 2021-2027 (FENG).

The aim of the project is to establish conditions for development of two-component hybrid bioink compatible for extrusion-based 3D bioprinting and new volumetric bioprinting. Two component bioink possess increased vascularization of thick 3D bioprinted constructs. Another original aspect of the project is the use of microspheres containing endothelial cells differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to enhance the vascularization process of 3D-printed constructs. The selected models will undergo long-term culture and functional tests, such as cultivation in a perfusion system and mechanical testing, to evaluate the usability of the bioink in these conditions and its potential for vascularization of these models ex vivo. The interdisciplinary study involve extensive material engineering, bioprinting, and iPSC-based studies. The detailed impact of 3D-bioprinted thick constructs on encapsulated cell behavior as well as interactions between two types of human cell types will be studied in vitro and in a designed ex vivo bioreactor system.

The young doctor scientist will mainly be responsible for 3D bioprinting, chemical characterization, iPSC-related study as well as biomaterial characterization and biological investigation of cell-laden 3D bioprinted constructs and bioreactor setup.
