Super paramagnetic manipulation of nanowires for engineered strain sensors used in biomedical implants. ETH Zurich Biosensors and Bioelectronics (LBB) Stretchable Electronics, currently being used in biomedical engineering makes use of elastomers and different conductive fillers. This combination enables the creation of strain sensors which can be implanted inside of the human body. Manipulation of the fillers will allow novel sensors. Chemistry, Engineering and Technology, Medical and Health Sciences Bachelor Thesis, Internship, Master Thesis, Semester Project

Forschungspraktikum/Masterarbeit in Schlafforschung und Entscheidungsverhalten University of Zurich University Hospital Zurich Hintergrund: Das zunehmende Wissen über die Funktionen des Schlafs, wie Erholung, Ontogenese, Gedächtnisprozesse und Erhaltung zeigt auf, dass der Schlaf von vitaler Bedeutung ist. Dennoch leiden viele von uns unter chronischem Schlafentzug, verursacht z.B. durch erhöhte Arbeitszeiten und längere Ar Central Nervous System Internship, Master Thesis

Funded PhD Position at the University of Zurich – Medical Physics and Radiation Research University of Zurich Physics Institute We are seeking a doctoral student to develop a nanodosimter for the determination of quality factors for radiation protection and to investigate Monte Carlo based uncertainty analysis of cancer induction for low- to high-dose cancer risk Medical Physics PhD Placement

Mapping of biomolecule excretions next to cells using AFM integrated nanopores ETH Zurich Biosensors and Bioelectronics (LBB) Proteins, ions, and other excretions secreted from single cells are the key signaling factors to determine the interaction of cells with the extracellular matrix and the neighboring cells. We integrated a nanopore into an atomic force microscope (AFM) for sensing secreted molecules.

Master thesis / Semester project: The role of DAMPs in low back pain University of Zurich Department of Rheumatology This project investigates how hematopoiesis is affected by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Methods: isolation, culture, and differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (MSC) and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC), qPCR, ELISA Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Medical and Health Sciences Bachelor Thesis, Internship, Lab Practice, Master Thesis, Semester Project

Master thesis / Semester project: Why do Modic Changes cause back pain? University of Zurich Department of Rheumatology This project investigates why more sensory nerve endings are found in Modic changes (MC), a painful and highly prevalent, yet poorly understood spinal pathology. In-vitro sprouting of sensory nerves will be quantified in co-culture with human bone marrow aspirates from human MC and control aspirates Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Cell Physiology, Sensory Systems Internship, Master Thesis, Semester Project

Master thesis / Semester project: Pathophysiology of Modic Changes in Low Back Pain University of Zurich Department of Rheumatology This project investigates the molecular and cellular changes in Modic changes, a painful and highly prevalent, yet poorly understood spinal pathology. Human bone marrow aspirates will be analyzed with FACS, next-generation RNA sequencing, qPCR, mass spectrometry, Western blotting, and ELISA.
