Pathologie & Medische Biologie
The postdoc will be working within the department of Pathology & Medical Biology (PMB) of the University Medical Center Groningen, laboratory of Experimental Pulmonology and Inflammation Research (
EXPIRE). Within PMB, multiple renowned research groups work on pathophysiological damage and repair processes, using translational and multi-omic approaches (transcriptomics e.g. single cell RNA sequencing, proteomics etc), and state-of-the-art cellular and molecular techniques, to obtain insights into novel therapeutic strategies. The research will be embedded within the Groningen Research Institute for Asthma and COPD (
GRIAC), a multidisciplinary and highly translational research institute performing fundamental and applied patient-related research with the aim to unravel underlying mechanisms of the development and progression of lung diseases, including asthma, COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. There will be a close collaboration with the consortium partners from the departments of Pulmonary Diseases and Thoracic Surgery of the UMCG (Prof. Dirk-Jan Slebos, Dr. Michiel Erasmus) and the departments of Developmental BioEngineering and Engineered Therapeutics of University Twente (Prof. Jeroen Leijten and Prof. Jai Prakash).
