IITH Postdoctoral Vacancy on Stem Cell Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad 

Kandi – 502 285, Sanga Reddy, Telangana,

“Postdoctoral Position” on “Stem Cell Engineering and Regenerative Medicine” 

Department of Biomedical Engineering, IIT Hyderabad Stem Cell Engineering and Regenerative Medicine is an immerging and highly interdisciplinary field of research which required multidisciplinary skill set. Regenerative or Tissue Engineering evolved from the field of biomaterials development and refers to the practice of combining biomaterials, cells, and biologically active molecules into functional tissues. The goal regenerative medicine is to assemble functional constructs that restore, maintain, or improve damaged tissues or whole organs. Our laboratory works at the interface of materials engineering (including FDA approved polymeric Biomaterials) and stem cell biology to develop nextgeneration approaches in the generation of tissues such as bone, cartilage, heart and skin etc. 

We are seeking for talented, motivated and passionate individuals, eager to learn multidisciplinary skill set and ready to explore their talent/idea/experience in the improvement of human health care, and to join our efforts in a leading-edge translation research on “Stem Cell Engineering and Regenerative Medicine”. The candidate will get highly interdisciplinary work environment to perform cutting age research and high impact publication. 

Essential Qualification and Work Experience: PhD in Biotechnology, Nanobiotechnology, Bioengineering, Nanotechnology, Materials Science, any other related interdisciplinary engineering and/or science, from reputed institute with strong experience and publication record from PhD work and related work.
