About iHealthTech
At iHealthtech, we envision advancing health through innovation, integration of smart technology and on-demand health solution. Our organisation consists of an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and clinicians who work with our industrial partners to push the frontier of science to meet patients' needs.
Job Description
Our cells are continually being subject to mechanical changes in their microenvironment. Solid tumours undergo rapid remodelling, leading to changes in the biophysical tumour microenvironment. By learning how these changes affect immune cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts and cancer cells, we can develop strategies for mechanical activation or inhibition to grow the field of mechanoceuticals – the application of mechanobiology to identify therapeutically actionable drivers of cancer growth and metastasis.
The successful candidate will contribute to interdisciplinary research at the intersection of materials science, biomedical engineering, cancer biology and immunology.
Qualifications
We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic researcher with a PhD in Materials Science, Biomedical Engineering, Cancer Biology, Immunology or a related discipline to contribute to cutting-edge research in cancer mechanobiology.
The ideal candidate should possess hands-on experience in hydrogel synthesis, in vitro tumour models and animal studies, with strong experimental research and analytical skills. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and conducting experiments, analysing research findings and preparing scientific manuscripts for publication.
Interested candidates are invited to submit their cover letter, CV and contact details of three referees (name, institution and email address).
We regret to inform you that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
