Wien, Wien, Österreich Austrian Institute of Technology Vollzeit

As
Austria's largest research and technology organisation for applied research, we are dedicated to make substantial contributions to solving the major challenges of our time, climate change and digitisation.

To achieve our goals, we rely on our specific research, development and technology competencies, which are the basis of our commitment to excellence in all areas.

With our open culture of innovation and our motivated, international teams, we are working to position AIT as Austria's leading research institution at the highest international level and to make a positive contribution to the economy and society.


The PhD project is embedded in an EU project that aims at providing more predictive and more ethical tools for addressing regulatory relevant questions and supporting implementation of the REACH and CLP regulations.

It will furthermore provide approaches to reshape and align the overall strategy of testing and validation of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) with future regulation (e.g., REACH 2.0) reducing the need of animal testing.

PHD THESIS "HUMAN BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER IN VITRO MODELS FOR REGULATORY USE"

CENTER FOR HEALTH & BIORESOURCES

  • Your work will contribute to increase the level of consumer and environmental safety
  • You standardize bloodbrain barrier in vitro models for toxicity assessment.
  • You elucidate alterations in bloodbrain barrier functionality after chemical treatments.
  • You participate in interlaboratory and transferability studies of several in vitro NAMs.
  • You combine highthroughput screening methods and cuttingedge cell culture based on cell lines and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) to evaluate multicellular models in different setups (spheroids, Transwells)
  • You implement novel methods to study the relevance of the cellular microenvironment (incl. astrocytes, pericytes, neurons) on pharmacokinetics and toxicity outcomes.
  • You study the transport of small molecules and nanoparticles in 2D and 3D in vitro models.
  • You unravel changes at the bloodbrain barrier in vitro, discover biomarkers and develop novel multitarget omicsmethods to measure these biomarkers.
  • You will learn how to evaluate the results and prepare them for further studies.
  • You support and supervise master's students in the lab, write conference contributions and publish results in leading scientific journals
  • You are integrated in an interdisciplinary team evaluating in silico/in vitro/in vivo correlations.
