PhD Research Fellowship in Quantitative Imaging and Cell Mechanics of Early Embryo Development Full-time
GENESIS
GENESIS is a newly established Life Science Convergence Environment that brings active matter physics, cell biology, and machine learning to address the fundamental processes guiding the earliest stages of mammalian embryo development. Early embryogenesis is a critical stage in which collective cell dynamics, mechanical forces, and gene regulation interact to drive blastocyst formation, embryonic axis establishment, and cell fate specification.
This PhD project aims to experimentally map and quantify the mechanical and dynamical processes underlying early mouse and human embryogenesis, focusing on cellular motility, shape dynamics, cytoskeletal organization, and force generation. The position is embedded in a highly interdisciplinary team spanning advanced microscopy, gene regulation, active matter physics, and machine learning.
The position has a duration of 4 years.
