PhD Student (gn*) Physiological Chemistry and Pathobiochemistry

We are UKM. We have a clear social mission and, with our focus on healthcare, research, and teaching, we bear a unique responsibility.

To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific expertise in the Institute of Physiological Chemistry and Pathobiochemistry. Research in the institute is focused on the structure and function of the extracellular matrix and integrin receptors, and how cell-matrix interactions affect developmental processes, tissue homeostasis and pathophysiological processes such as inflammation – ideally with you on board!

RESEARCH PROJECT:
Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN)
 
REMOD-HEALING: “Targeting Extracellular Matrix Remodelling in Cutaneous Wounds to Promote Better Healing”
 
REMOD-HEALING is a research network of leading European and Latin American scientists from academia and industry who want to tackle the burden of pathological wounds by exploiting therapeutic targets and biomarkers associated with extracellular matrix remodelling in cutaneous wounds. Through its research and training activities, the REMOD-HEALING project will contribute to scientific advancement and innovation in wound healing and regenerative medicine through a coordinated, interdisciplinary effort, ultimately leading to societal and economic benefits.
