We are looking for a PhD candidate to investigate the use of novel recombinant proteins for tissue engineering. The candidate will design, synthesize and purify recombinant proteins, inspired from extracellular matrix and growth factors, to stimulate adhesion and differentiation of human stem cells into relevant lineages for tissue regeneration. The novel designed proteins will be chemically attached onto different biomaterials (metallic and polymeric), and 3D-printed in cell-laden hydrogels for different target clinical applications (bone regeneration, wound healing, cardiovascular, etc.).

We are seeking a highly motivated and creative postdoctoral researcher to work in the field of plasma medicine. The primary objective of the research is to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in the stimulatory effect of cold plasma on tissue regeneration processes, as well as the mechanisms behind the lethal and selective action of cold plasmas on cancer cells. The ultimate goal of this project is to gain a fundamental understanding of the effects of atmospheric pressure plasma-treated hydrogels on redox biology and the molecular mechanisms involved in tissue regeneration and cancer cell death.

El Grupo de Biomateriales, Biomecánica e Ingeniería de tejidos de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, integrado CREB, requiere incorporar un/-a técnico de transferencia de tecnología en el campo de los biomateriales, con la finalidad de facilitar y promover la actividad de valorización y transferencia de tecnología, dentro del “Programa Investigo” de contratación de personas jóvenes demandantes de trabajo en la realización de iniciativas de investigación e innovación, en el marco del Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia, financiado por la Unión Europea-Next Generation EU.

He/she will be the person responsible for promoting XarTEC SALUT as a whole, formulating proposals and providing support for the management and development of projects that favor technological valorisation and its social and economic impact. Under the direct supervision of the direction, he/she will be responsible for revitalizing the network, generating synergies, implementing the agreed activities, and will be responsible for valuing, detecting opportunities and executing the strategy.

The BBT Group is looking for a highly motivated and creative PhD candidate to work in the field of plasma medicine and investigate the synthesis of biocompatible hydrogels, and the effects of atmospheric plasmas on them and on liquids. The ultimate goal of the research line is to gain fundamental understanding on the lethal effects of atmospheric pressure plasmas and plasma-treated liquids and hydrogels on cancer cells, and being able to implement new strategies for local and minimally invasive cancer therapy.
