“Exciting two-year postdoctoral opportunity at the intersection of science, business, and assay development. Focus areas include cell physiology and the development of a biomarker for assessing the severity and treatment efficacy in thalassemia.”

**Research Field**: Red Blood Cells, Thalassemia, Oxidative Stress, Red Cell Physiology.

**Background**:
A consortium of the University Medical Center Utrecht, Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, the University of Toronto Medical Center and private company RR Mechatronics aims to develop a novel biomarker: Oxidant-Ektacytometry. Creating a new technology for the RR Mechatronics Lorrca ektacytometer platform to measure changes in RBC deformability in response to oxidative stress, reflecting their ability to withstand such stress. This biomarker leverages the increased susceptibility of thalassemic red blood cells (RBCs) to oxidative stress.

The project aims to develop and evaluate the clinical potential of this test at assessing drug efficacy in thalassemia patients.

The research has the potential to become the gold standard in assessing the response of RBCs to thalassemia treatments.

**Qualifications and Ambitions**:

- A PhD in biomedical or biochemical sciences.
- Alternatively, a master’s degree in biomedical/biochemical sciences or an MD with a strong interest in pursuing a scientific career.

**Assignment Details**:

- **Start Date**: Immediate availability is preferred.
