OrganVision is funded by European Union’s FET Open Horizon-2020 grant in a consortium of researchers and companies from four different European countries. It aims to develop a technological platform for real-time visualizing and modelling of fundamental process in living organoids towards new insights into organ-specific health, disease, and recovery.
The research team at the University of Southampton is responsible for developing ‘OrganLab’ for the OrganVision project and quantitative analysis to understand the mechanical property of the EHT tissue using different multimodal imaging techniques.
The postholder will be responsible for developing microscopic technology and/or image analysis pipelines and methods for ‘OrganVision project in collaboration with biologists, biophysicists and computer scientists in the lab at the University of Southampton. This work will be in close collaboration with the optics group at University of Barcelona (Spain), led by Prof Marti Duocastella and Computational Imaging team at Arctic University of Tromso (Norway), led by Prof Krishna Agarwal.
The successful candidate will have a PhD* or equivalent professional qualifications in Physics, Bio-photonics (spectroscopy, optics, imaging) or optical engineering or image analysis related fields.
