Research fellow position available at UCL

This project aims to develop a therapeutic bio-scaffold that may be applied following neurosurgical intervention, to deliver stem cells in the early treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).  

It is a collaboration project between the groups of James Phillips (UCL Centre for Nerve Engineering), Aminul Ahmed (UCL Institute of Neurology) and Molly Stevens (Imprerial College London).  

The Research Fellow will lead the in vivo testing of novel cellular biomaterials for use in treating TBI.  

The post is available from 1 March 2020 until 30 November 2020 in the first instance. 

An understanding of translational aspects of regenerative medicine, in particular Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product development for nervous system applications. Enthusiasm for interdisciplinary translational research collaboration and familiarity with the use of in vivo models are required.  

Applicants should apply online. To access further details about the position and how to apply please click on the ‘Apply’ button above.

TCES Net meeting, Winter 2020

We are delighted to invite you to the launch of the UCL Centre for 3D models of health and disease.

The Centre for 3D models of health and disease focuses on developing biomimetic tissue models to study fundamental tissue biology and the impact of disease progression on tissue form and function. We bio-engineer advanced tissue models and cover a range of tissues from skeletal muscle to tendon and skin. The centre also works on biomimetic models of cancer, which we term tumouroids, engineering distinct cancer masses within complex stromal compartments to study cancer invasion and metastasis. These models have been used to interrogate the actions of chemotherapeutic drugs and other therapeutic modalities.

The event will be held at Charles Bell House (UCL) in 43-45 Foley Street, London (W1W 7TS) on the 20th January 2020 from 11am to 3pm.

The meeting is kindly funded by TCES Net and Lonza.

We look forward to welcoming you.
