We are looking for a motivated collaborator for the position of postdoctoral fellow (senior post-doc / bioinformatician) in the Laboratory of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in the TEAM-NET project financed by the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP). The selected candidate will study the molecular mechanisms responsible for the interactions of pancreatic endothelial cells with developing human beta cells, producing insulin.

The research will be conducted using the latest research techniques, such as: culture and differentiation of human stem cells into pancreatic beta cells, creation of pancreatic organoids, advanced genome editing techniques (inhibition and activation of expression) including screening studies, RNA sequencing at the single-cell level, Perturb-seq, functional tests of beta cells, and advanced microscopic imaging and flow cytometry with imaging. It is not necessary to master all of these techniques, as this project will be carried out in cooperation, but there is an opportunity to learn more about them. The project will be carried out in cooperation with the University of Warsaw, with the team of Dr. T. Kamiński, an expert in microfluidics, and the Jagiellonian University, with the team of Prof. J. Dulak, an expert in endothelial cell biology. The knowledge gained will be crucial for the development of cell and gene therapy for people with diabetes.

The laboratory is located in Poznań, at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Faculty of Biology, Adam Mickiewicz University, which is one of the leading scientific institutions in Poland. Our team is young, dynamic, efficiently functioning, focused on cooperation, development and mutual respect.
