The INM-Leibniz Institute for New Materials stands at the forefront of interdisciplinary research focused on materials and their applications in creating sustainable solutions that address the growing demands of digitalization and healthcare. Our research encompasses materials chemistry, biological interactions, physical analysis, and engineering processes, with a commitment to leading advancements in opto-interactive, electro-integrative, and bio-intelligent material systems.

Our dedicated research group, Materials-Host Interactions, is engaged in developing tissue models and methodologies aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of novel biomaterials, while also striving to minimize and/or replace animal testing.

We are in search of a proactive postdoctoral researcher to pioneer the creation of the first human cornea-on-chip system that accurately replicates the primary layers of corneal tissue, intended for use in ophthalmic drug research.
