2026-IdrDip-08-medmol - Integrated analytical approaches and quantitative multi parametric High-Content imaging for the study of tumour model

Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research; Italia; Presencial; EUR 38.000 - 52.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

The project at Università di Pavia integrates biomolecular and phenotypic analysis, including cytotoxicity and cell proliferation assays, immunoassays (ELISA/Western Blot), flow cytometry, and gene expression analysis (qPCR/RNA-Seq). It combines High-Content Imaging with AI-driven data analysis to study pathogenetic mechanisms in cancer and identify biomarkers for precision medicine.

Offer Description

The project integrates various biomolecular and phenotypic analysis methodologies, including cytotoxicity and cell proliferation assays, immunoassays (ELISA/Western Blot), flow cytometry, and gene expression analysis (qPCR/RNA-Seq), and in particular High-Content Imaging and Analysis, which combine automated microscopy with advanced AI-driven data analysis to capture and extract phenotypic information from complex cellular systems. By applying these techniques to the study of pathogenetic mechanisms in cancer, the project will enable the rapid and integrated evaluation of the response of complex cellular models and organoids to molecules and drugs, immunomodulation, and phenotypic alterations, allowing functional studies and the identification of new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for precision medicine.
