Join our team to explore how inflamed tissues communicate with immune cells, and help develop new experimental platforms to understand these processes.

About us 

The https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/life/ conducts research, innovation, and education to enable a biobased society and improve human health. We explore how biological systems, and innovative technologies can be used to convert biomass into valuable products. We use advanced computational technologies to discover how biomolecules and organisms function and interact. We pioneer new methods for prediction, prevention, diagnostics and treatment of diseases. 

About the research project  

This project focuses on understanding how biochemical and structural changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) during inflammation influence immune cell activation. You will develop controlled model systems that integrate tissues, ECM-modifying enzymes, and immune cells to study nanoscale alterations, glycosylation changes, and damage-associated signals (DAMPs). The platform enables systematic investigation of ECM–immune interactions and provides a foundation for designing future biomaterials and therapeutic strategies.

  • To qualify as a Doctoral student, you must have a Master's degree (masterexamen) of 120 credits or a Master’s degree (magisterexamen) of 60 credits* in biotechnology, biomedical engineering, bioengineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, or a closely related field
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English 
  • Experience in experimental laboratory work in molecular biology, biomaterials, cell biology, or biochemistry
  • Strong analytical thinking, curiosity, and the ability to work independently and part of a multidisciplinary team
