Topic: Bioengineering

OXMAN seeks researchers working across synthetic biology, bioengineering, plant science, materials science and microbiology. Projects may develop biosensors, integrate living components into physical systems, adapt organisms to extreme environments, or devise new fabrication methods. The scientist will lead or collaborate on interdisciplinary projects, communicate results and maintain research documentation. This full-time, on-site role is based in New York City, with a stated annual compensation range of US$121,000–151,000. Instead of a cover letter, applicants must upload a project proposal

The human gut microbiome has emerged as a key player in the bidirectional communication of the gut-brain axis, affecting various aspects of homeostasis and pathophysiology. Until recently, the majority of studies that seek to explore the mechanisms underlying the microbiome-gut-brain axis cross-talk relied almost exclusively on animal models, and particularly gnotobiotic mice. Despite the great progress made with these models, various limitations, including ethical considerations and interspecies differences that limit the translatability of data to human systems, pushed researchers to seek fo

Join the Department of Bioengineering on the 26th May at 9:00am for The 2021 Annual Bioengineering Lecture + Bioinspired Guidance, Navigation and Control Symposium. This year’s lecture speaker will be distinguished bioengineer and neuroscientist Professor Mandyam V. Srinivasan AM FRS, from the University of Queensland. Professor Srinivasan studies visual systems, particularly those of bees and birds. His research has revealed how flying insects negotiate narrow gaps, regulate the height and speed of flight, estimate distance flown, and orchestrate smooth landings. Apart from enhancing funda
