PhD / PostDoc in stem cell biology

Overview

PhD / PostDoc in stem cell biology role at Technische Universität München (Technical University of Munich)

Join to apply for the PhD / PostDoc in stem cell biology role at Technische Universität München (Technical University of Munich).

Our research focus

The Mission Understanding how multicellular systems organize themselves into tissues is a central challenge in modern biology and biophysics. Our group focuses on organoid and gastruloid systems derived from human pluripotent stem cells to study the interplay of cell fate decisions, morphogenetic flows, and physical constraints. The aim of the present project is to uncover how collective dynamics and signaling feedbacks drive robust pattern formation during early development. We apply advanced stem cell culture approaches, 3D organoid engineering, and quantitative live-cell imaging to probe and model these processes. By combining stem cell biology with cutting-edge microscopy and physical concepts, we aim to establish a predictive framework for tissue self-organization. For more information go to:
