Via Raffaele Rubattino Milano, ItalyWHO WE AREAt IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society.
Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centers around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
OUR TEAM You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where biomedical, materials and physics engineers, material scientists, physicists, chemists, biotechnologists and biologists collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.
The Nanomaterials for Energy and Lifescience Research Unit is coordinated by Prof.
Guglielmo Lanzani who has extensive experience in the photophysics of organic molecules and semiconductors.
he research focuses on the study of molecular phototransducers for cell opto-stimulation.
This includes spectroscopy, electrochemistry, microscopy and electrophysiology.
Within the team, your main responsibilities will be.
oordinate the activity of cell growth and differentiation of muscle cells;Plan and realize experiments aiming at the characterization and testing of new photo transducers and their exploitation in prototypes.
In particular.
1) spectroscopy characterization of the molecular/nanoparticles transducers, including absorption and emission both steady state and time resolved, in different media; 2) experiments of confocal microscopy imaging, photoluminescence and electro physiology for testing the performances in cells.
