Location

Turin, Italy

Position

Postdoctoral position in epithelial stem cell biology

Date Posted

Sep 11th 2007

Description

A full-time post-doctoral position is available at the Molecular Biotechnology Center of the University of Turin. The research of the laboratory focuses on the molecular mechanisms regulating stem cell self-renewal and differentiation in stratified epithelia of the skin and the ocular surface. Ongoing projects include functional analysis of the PI3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway in keratinocyte stem cells.

The Molecular Biotechnology Center has a strong emphasis on the development of innovative stem cell-based therapeutic approaches, and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to interact with other laboratories within the Institute with a strong expertise in studies of cell signaling and gene regulation in a variety of experimental models and physiopathological conditions.

Candidates with a strong background in cellular and molecular biology, developmental biology, genetics or biochemistry are encouraged to apply. Experience with mouse animal models would be desirable, but not a strict requirement.
