Research assistant in bone implant osseointegration, Bucharest, Romania

Added via Euraxess. The Institute of Biochemistry of the Romanian Academy seeks an early-stage researcher to work on the project “Fabrication of osteoinductive orthopaedic implants with gradual 3D hierarchical structure”. The goal of the project is to develop a laser deposited multilayered protein structure to enhance bone implant osseointegration with the following specific aims: 1. Designing and executing experiments to evaluate implant coating generated responses in the osteoprogenitor cell proliferation and differentiation pattern; 2. Defining growth factor release kinetics from biocompatible and/or biodegradable polymer matrices; 3. Exploring how these factors can improve bone tissue regeneration at the implant sites by means of physics and cell biology techniques.

The deadline for applications is 28 February 2013. For more information on the position and the project please visit the job advert below.
