Role of Extracellular Matrix and of Environmental Particle Deposition During Lung Development and Aging

The focus of the lab is on the influence of the extracellular matrix components tenascin-C, alpha8-integrin and discoidin receptor 1 and 2, as well as of (environmental) particle deposition on lung development and lung aging.

The current project includes molecular biology, stereology and “synchrotron radiation based X-ray tomographic imaging”. Various aspects of the development and aging of the lung will be studied. The project is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The position is available immediately.

Candidates with expertise and/or interest in cell and molecular biology as well as in light and tomographic X-ray and electron microscopy are encouraged to apply.

Methoden:
Depending on the applicant a combination of molecular biology, cell biology, stereology, “synchrotron radiation based X-ray tomographic imaging”, and/or 3D-image analysis.
