Ref.: 23-259_R_AR

IDIBELL is looking for an ambitious and highly motivated scientist with an outstanding track-record of scientific accomplishments to apply for an independent tenure-track Group Leader research position in the Regenerative Medicine Program

 

About the program

The Regenerative Medicine Program integrates fundamental and translational research on the use of cells and tissues to treat degenerative diseases. The Program is currently composed by 8 independent research groups whose activities span broad areas of science, including stem cell biology, developmental biology, regeneration and aging, development of advanced therapies, and molecular mechanisms of disease. Researchers within the Regenerative Medicine Program of IDIBELL employ experimental systems that range from zebrafish and mice to human pluripotent stem cells and organoids. The Program also hosts the Barcelona Stem Cell Bank, node of the Carlos III Institute of Health's Spanish Cell Bank, which generates, registers, and banks human iPS cell lines.

The Regenerative Medicine Program is a key part of the Program for the Clinical Translation of Regenerative Medicine in Catalonia (P-CMR[C]), a transversal action in the Catalan environment that brings together the relevant stakeholders for advancing the clinical translation of strategies of regenerative medicine based on the use of pluripotent stem cells.

Group leaders at IDIBELL’s Regenerative Medicine Program benefit from a highly collaborative, approachable and international English-speaking environment.
