APPLICATION CLOSING DATE.
September 1st, The Human Technopole (HT) is a new interdisciplinary research institute in Milan, Italy, created and supported by the Italian government whose aim is to develop innovative strategies to promote human health through a multidisciplinary and integrated approach, combining genomics, computational and structural biology, neuroscience, and data and decisions sciences.
HT has the mission of conducting cutting-edge research but also to translate innovation into methods and tools available to the entire National scientific community.
To this end, HT is opening National Facilities that will provide state-of-the-art research infrastructure for Structural Biology, Light Imaging, Genomics, Genome Engineering, and Data Handling and Analysis.
Overview – National Facility for Genome Engineering and Disease Modelling The core mission of the National Facility for Genome Engineering and Disease Modelling is to enable patient-specific disease modelling at scale by translating, benchmarking and standardising laboratory protocols into automated workflows, integrating state-of-the-art robotic and bioengineering platforms through a highly multidisciplinary approach.
Operating in close collaboration with the Genomics and Advanced Imaging National Facilities, as well as the Flow Cytometry and Electrophysiology support units, GEDI develops transformative technologies to achieve the Human Technopole vision of high-definition biomedicine.
This involves utilizing increasingly sophisticated organoid systems at single-cell multiomic resolution, with a strong emphasis densely phenotyped clinical cohorts.
The successful candidate will report to theHead of the Facility and will have the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary environment to develop and support the execution of experimental activities in the following areas.
Reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), followed by characterization and banking of the generated iPSCs.
Mandatory requirements.
A master’s degree in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, or in a related field of the life sciences is required.
At least 1 year of relevant work experience.
Experience with cell culture techniques and maintenance of immortalized/tumor cell lines.
