Two postdoctoral positions in the Artegiani & Hendriks lab, Utrecht, NL

The position
The Artegiani & Hendriks lab has a long-standing interest in developing and advancing human organoid models and to apply these to understand mechanisms of human development and various diseases. We have a core focus on the human liver and brain. We have two funded positions open, one focused on our brain research and one focused on our liver research. For the brain line, we are looking for candidates that aim to advance human brain organoid models for disease modelling purposes, including (pediatric) brain cancer. For the liver line, we are looking for candidates that aim to advance human liver organoid models for chronic disease (e.g. fatty liver) and cancer modelling. Our lab uses a wide variety of techniques including human PSC/tissue-derived organoids, -omic analyses, advanced imaging tools, CRISPR/Cas tools, etc.
