2 open positions are available at the University of Padova, Department of Physics and Astronomy, to work on "Extracellular vesicles isolation by innovative droplet microfluidic strategies"
Deadline: 30th September 2024!
One research position for 1 year will be soon available at the Department of Experimental Medicine (DIMES), University of Genova (Genova, Italy) in the group of Prof. Sveva Bollini (Scopus ID: 22933852600; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1076-0823), starting from 1st February 2024.
We are looking for a Candidate willing to work on a project recently funded by the MUR program PRIN 2022 Prot. N. 2022YS87H7, entitled: “Design and validation of an advanced delivery system for miRNAs and stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles for direct cardiac reprogramming through a mechanically-stimulated human cardiac scar model - DESIRE”. The project focuses on enhancing microRNA-based direct reprogramming (DR) of human cardiac fibroblasts into functional cardiomyocytes by priming them with perinatal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). DESIRE will design an advanced DR approach for post-infarct cardiac regeneration based on in situ delivery of specific microRNAs, combined to human stem cell-EVs, and it will be validated in a novel human cardiac scar on a chip in vitro model.
Detailed description in the attachment.
Interested Candidates should send their CV, a brief statement of research interest, and two names of references with contact information as soon as possible to Prof. Bollini: Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.

Le società delle vescicole extracellulari di tutta Europa si sono unite per formare MOVE (MObility for Vesicles research in Europe) con lo scopo di offrire ai ricercatori ad inizio carriera l'opportunità di lavorare in un laboratorio in un altro paese europeo.
La borsa di studio consentirà ai ricercatori (i candidati) di recarsi in un altro laboratorio in Europa (gli host) per sviluppare le proprie competenze tecniche e ampliare le proprie reti professionali. Lo scopo della MOVE European Mobility Fellowship è promuovere la collaborazione tra i membri di diverse società e reti europee di EVs.
XXXVIII Cycle - 1 fellowships available
Curriculum: TRANSLATIONAL AND PRECISION MEDICINE
Online application only – Deadline: July 10th 2023 at 12.00 (italian time)
