Postdoctoral Scientist: Scalable Retina Cell Production

Karolinska Institutet; Huddinge kommun; On-site; SEK 420,000 - 540,000; Full time

Job summary

Karolinska Institutet's Lanner Lab in Flemingsberg seeks a postdoctoral researcher to develop scalable bioprocesses for retinal cells derived from pluripotent stem cells. The project aims to generate retinal pigment epithelial cells and photoreceptors suitable for future clinical applications.

You will differentiate pluripotent stem cells, employ scalable culture modalities and bioreactors, and collaborate with industrial partners to validate methods and prepare for clinical trials.

Qualifications

• PhD or equivalent degree required.
• Completion of doctoral degree within the last three years is advantageous.
• Experience differentiating pluripotent stem cells is essential.

Responsibilities

• Establish a method for differentiating pluripotent stem cells into retinal cells and tissues.
• Develop scalable culture modalities and bioreactors for RPE and photoreceptors.
• Collaborate with international partners and communicate scientific results.
