Title of the Research Project: “Development of advanced third generation matrix associated chondrocytes for cartilage repair”
Name of the position available: Research Associate (RA)
Number of positions available: One
Salary: Rs.36000 + 20% HRA
Project duration: 3 years
Brief details of the work to be undertaken: Development of a novel injectable, hydrogel matrix using bottom-up self-assembly of nanofibers. The gel-sol-gel property of the hydrogel would be further used for cell culture and direct implantation of the cell-hydrogel composite into the damaged cartilage. The work will require synthesis of supramolecular peptide as well as polymer-peptide conjugate hydrogels, assessment of their physical properties including gel-sol-gel formation, stability over long term culture, typical stress-strain behavior, hydrolysis, crosslinking, swelling studies etc. Further biological properties like, biocompatibility, as well as biodegradability of these designed materials will be studied.
How to Apply- Interested candidates are requested to send their applications (for application refer to our website www.inst.ac.in) along with their CV to deepa.ghosh@inst.ac.in on or before 31st October, 2018. The subject should state “Application for Research Associate”
