Applications are invited for a temporary post of a Research Assistant within UCD School of Veterinary Medicine
Soft x-ray microscopy is a novel, exciting imaging technique which visualises cells in exquisite detail, but it has yet to be applied to imaging whole tissues. This PhD project, which will be part of ERC Synergy Project NanoX, will develop techniques for CT-like imaging of 3D models of the liver and other organs. It will focus on hepatitis E virus, an emerging zoonotic disease with no specific treatments and no vaccine. This will allow us to visualise tissues at a level of detail not previously possible, a crucial step for understanding the mechanisms of disease. The project will benefit from the skillsets of international experts in infectious disease, physics and structural biology, with partners based at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, and the University of Warwick, UK. See www.ucd.ie/nanox for further information.
