PhD position in Nanoparticles for Intestinal Diseases

**Functiebeschrijving**: The project is a continuation of ongoing research into the dysregulation of immune tolerance in AAV, particularly concerning the role of Tregs. AAV are rare, chronic, relapsing autoimmune diseases characterized by inflammation of small blood vessels, commonly affecting the kidneys, lungs, and upper airways. Dysregulation of immune...

**Functiebeschrijving**: The project will be focused on: 1) material science for developing strategies for efficient EVs retention into a protein-based hydrogel system; 2) study of the mechano-structural properties of the target tissue for designing promising architectures for bioprinting; 3) bioprinting technology for manufacturing constructs with refined...

The PhD position is embedded in the research programme Economics, Econometrics and Finance of FEB’s Research Institute. The project will be supervised by Abe de Jong, in cooperation with Tim Kooijmans (RMIT) and Peter Koudijs (NYU). Organisation Since its foundation in 1614, the University of Groningen has enjoyed an international reputation as a dynamic...

**Functiebeschrijving**: Stress is the ‘buzzword’ of modern life and impacts all aspects of daily life. When stress occurs frequently, remains high for sustained periods of time, and/or overwhelms people’s resources, it can cause mental and cardiometabolic disease. The NWO Gravitation project “Stress-in-Action” capitalizes on the fast advances in...

Job description Without biological membranes, there would be no life as we know it. Transport of molecules and information across these membranes is carried out by integral membrane protein channels, receptors, pumps and transporters. Living cells maintain chemical gradients and electrical potential differences across their membranes using proteins...

Belonging to the best research universities of Europe and joining forces with prestigious partner universities and networks, the University of Groningen is truly...

Traditional handwritten text recognition (HTR) approaches ignore the multimodal characteristics of historical manuscripts. Moreover, they underestimate problems at the level of layout analysis, the detection of the logical reading order over a scanned page of text, and the recognition of textual and graphic patterns with a special meaning (headings,...

Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) plays a pivotal role in blood coagulation, with its secretion from Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs) being essential for responding to vascular trauma. Dysfunctional WPB biogenesis and exocytosis are characteristic of bleeding disorders such as Von Willebrand disease. In this project, we aim to identify the organelle trafficking routes...

In an ongoing collaboration with tuberculosis-experts and molecular immunologists we identify and synthesize new components of the bacterial pathogen M. tuberculosis. These compounds have shown to be important for pathogenesis and virulence and are highly interesting from a molecular structure point of view. In parallel, we study how to translate fundamental...

Are you a (nearly) graduated law student with an interest in scientific research? If so, one of these positions could be a great opportunity for you. We are looking for three enthusiastic PhD students who want to do research within one of the following topics: Law enforcement increasingly faces large, complex datasets for evidence discovery, requiring AI...

**Functiebeschrijving**: **Wat vragen wij**: - A master's degree (or are close to graduating) in bioinformatics, statistical genetics, computational biology, molecular biology or a related field. - A good amount of experience and understanding of programming languages (Python and R are a big plus) and data analysis. - Experience working on a...

Posted on December 14, 2023 Job description Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive demyelinating disease of the central nervous system characterized by neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Current disease-modifying therapies are non-curative and do not reverse progression. MS lesion progression is prevented by remyelination, a natural...

In this project, we consider a system of robotic agents that are wirelessly networked for exploring an unknown environment, with each agent equipped with multi-modal sensors and smart-edge computing onboard. We aim to develop principled methodologies and practical solutions for multi-agent semantic scene understanding towards reaching collaborative...

We are seeking self-motivated applicants for a four-year, fully-funded PhD position focusing on compiling, modeling and mapping archaeological data on subsistence harvesting among Inuit (from ca. AD 1250 to 1950) across the ecologically-rich land - sea - and icescapes of the Foxe Basin region of central Nunavut, Inuit Nunangat (the traditional Inuit...

Topic of research: Friction-switchable surfaces Computer chips are the building blocks of all modern technology. The smallest structures on the most advanced chips are currently 5 nanometers. ASML’s EUV (extreme ultraviolet) scan technology enables the scale of the smallest feature to be reduced even further. Hence, wafer positioning becomes a crucial...
