PhD Student in 3D skin proteomics

The Dengjel Lab at the Dept. of Biology, University of Fribourg (www.unifr.ch/bio/en/research/biochemistry/dengjel.html) is interested in skin biology and wound healing (1-2). Within the Swiss National Research Program “Advancing 3R”, we establish sophisticated 3D skin cell culture systems to replace mouse xenograft models. In collaboration with the group of Mark Tibbitt, ETH Zurich, we establish scaffold-free and scaffold-based 3D cell culture models and study protein regulation and homeostasis by mass spectrometry-based proteomics. We look for a motivated PhD student with interests in the areas outlined above. Excellent communication skills in English are of benefit.

We offer:

·      a stimulating, interdisciplinary scientific environment

·      state-of-the-art central facilities for proteomic, imaging and bioinformatic analyses
