The INM-Leibniz Institute for New Materials stands at the forefront of interdisciplinary research, focusing on the development of materials and their applications in sustainable solutions amidst the growing demands of digitalization and healthcare. Our work encompasses a blend of materials chemistry, biological interactions, physical analysis, and engineering processes. We strive for excellence in the realms of opto-interactive, electro-integrative, and bio-intelligent material systems.

Our dedicated research group, Materials-Host Interactions, is pioneering tissue models and innovative methodologies aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of novel biomaterials, while also working towards minimizing and replacing animal testing.

We are in search of a driven postdoctoral researcher to lead the development of a groundbreaking human cornea-on-chip system, which will replicate the primary layers of corneal tissue for use in ophthalmic drug research.
