Researcher in Microfluidics with focus on Plant-on-Chip

Develop plant-on-chip microfluidic systems in which plant cells are cultured and stimulated under controlled conditions, as part of the Wallenberg-funded FATE project on how plant cells acquire their identity. Working in Maria Tenje's EMBLA group with partners at SLU Umeå and Linköping University, the researcher studies how pressure, chemical stimuli and the cellular environment affect differentiation using high-resolution microscopy.

PhD in biomedical engineering, biotechnology, engineering physics, materials science, mechanical engineering or a closely related field, with several years of research experience in high-resolution microscopy (e.g. FRET and FLIM), image analysis, cell culture and plant cell biology.
