Genetically engineered cells will be actuated by magnetic gradients

Do you find the potential of using magnetic fields to manipulate biological structures and influence key cellular processes in biomedicine intriguing?
If so, you may be interested in this Master's project at the Westmeyer Lab (https://www.westmeyerlab.org/). This research focuses on utilizing genetically modified cells that produce biomagnetic nanostructures, which can then be controlled via magnetic gradients under imaging supervision.

Your Profile
an excellent and recent Bachelor's degree in (bio-)physics, biochemistry, biological engineering, biomedical engineering, or related academic programs,
previous experience with microscopy and mammalian cell culture,
the ability to be self-motivated and work with an interdisciplinary team of bioengineers, biochemists, neuroscientists, and data scientists,
excellent English language and organizational skills.
an openness and mobility to collaborate with our partners at MIT, Caltech.
