Advance vascularized organ-on-a-chip cancer research at RI-MUHC in Montreal, applying microfluidics and vascular biology to gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

The Kheiri Laboratory seeks a postdoctoral fellow for a joint position with Dr. Lorenzo Ferri. The project develops human-relevant tumor models investigating tumor–vasculature interactions, angiogenesis, drug transport, and treatment response. You will work within a multidisciplinary research team.

Key Responsibilities:

- Design microfluidic vascularized tumor-on-a-chip platforms
- Fabricate and optimize gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma models
- Establish perfusable tumor–vasculature co-cultures
- Develop and validate drug screening assays
- Analyze and disseminate findings through publications and presentations

Requirements:

- Doctorate in biomedical or chemical engineering, cancer biology, or related field
- At least two years of microfluidics research experience
- Knowledge of French
- Advanced oral and written English
- Recently awarded PhD or equivalent within five years

Apply microfluidics, vascular biology, and cancer research expertise to develop translational tumor-on-a-chip models at RI-MUHC.
