We are looking for a doctoral researcher who will:

- generate cerebral organoids from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), incorporate microglia consecutively
- grow organoids on (i) soft silicone cushions or (ii) in agarose within a tissue stretching/compression system, respectively, to compress them within defined parameters, simulating TBI in vitro
- assess cultures for key functions including cell survival, cell proliferation, neuronal functionality (Ca2+ imaging), and TBI biomarkers
- compare organoid cultures with neuronal-astroglial co-cultures grown on microstructured elastomeric substrates allowing the development of functional neuronal network clusters and single cell read-outs
- assess the effects of a therapeutic pharmacological intervention in this TBI model in vitro using the read-outs listed above

Practical work will take place at Forschungszentrum Jülich and University Hospital of Cologne (mobility between those institutions is required).
