Striving for gigaseal with force-controlled patch clamp on contracting cardiomyocyte ETH Zurich Biosensors and Bioelectronics (LBB) We aim to determine the key parameters to achieve an electric gigaseal between the cell membrane and the internal wall of a microfabricated pipette. Indeed, we are developing a force-controlled patch clamp using FluidFM to study the electrophysiology of single cells in a gentler and more controlled way. Cellular Interactions (incl. Adhesion, Matrix, Cell Wall), Physiology Internship, Lab Practice, Master Thesis, Semester Project

Master thesis: Preservation of stem cell spheroids University of Zurich Department of Rheumatology Cells grown in spheroids are an emerging technology with a tremendous translational potential in mesenchymal cell therapies. Preservation of cell spheroids is a critical step in developing spheroid-based cell therapeutics. We aim to compare different techniques to preserve MSC spheroids. Biology Master Thesis, Semester Project

Master thesis / Semester project: Do neutrophils contribute to bone marrow inflammation in low back pain? University of Zurich Department of Rheumatology We are looking for a motivated student investigating the role of neutrophils in the pathobiology of Modic type 1 changes (MC1). MC1 are edema of the vertebral bone marrow that cause low back pain. We have previously shown dysregulated neutrophil maturation in MC1 bone marrow. Biology Master Thesis, Semester Project

Master thesis (Masterarbeit) in Organic Chemistry/Medicinal Chemistry University of Zurich Computational Structural Biology Prof. Amedeo Caflisch In this project, you will combine retrosynthesis of one of the hit molecules, design of modifications through 3D software visualization of the protein-hit complex and synthesis of the planned derivatives. Chemistry Master Thesis
