A Research Associate position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Sing Yian CHEW at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, to a highly motivated candidate who has a passion for tissue engineering, scaffold design and drug/gene/cell delivery research.
The focus of this project is to design tissue scaffolds to impart biophysical signals (contact guidance, mechanical signals) and sustained delivery of biologics to direct cell fate and soft tissue regeneration. We are seeking an individual who is interested in designing, 3D-printing and characterizing novel biodegradable, biocompatible tissue scaffolds with controlled drug/ gene delivery capabilities to direct cell response and soft tissue regeneration, characterizing scaffold-cell/tissue interactions, engineering factors that control the rate and extent of drug/gene delivery, matrix stiffness signaling and scaffold degradation.
This position offers a unique opportunity to apply tissue scaffold engineering and controlled d...
