Job summary

Università di Parma seeks researchers for a project aiming to characterize anatomical and molecular changes in stem cell niches, integrating spatial profiling with histological and molecular analyses. The work targets aging-related decline in regenerative function and seeks to define structural and functional organization remodeling with potential translational applications in regenerative medicine.

Eligible fellows come from Europe, with Italy among eligible residence countries.

Responsibilities

• Characterize anatomical and molecular changes in stem cell niches.
• Integrate spatial profiling technologies with histological and molecular analyses.
• Identify spatial molecular signatures associated with pro-regenerative or pro-senescent states.

Offer Description

This project aims to characterize the anatomical and molecular changes occurring in stem cell niches by integrating advanced spatial profiling technologies with histological and molecular analyses, in order to identify the anatomical and molecular determinants underlying the age-related decline in regenerative function. The objective is to define how the structural and functional organization of stem cell niches is remodeled during aging and to identify spatial molecular signatures associated with pro-regenerative or pro-senescent states. The expected findings will provide new insights into the mechanisms governing tissue homeostasis and regeneration, while identifying novel therapeutic targets for regenerative medicine and healthy aging strategies, with potential translational applications in both veterinary and comparative medicine.
