Poste et missions:


A postdoctoral position in "the development of polymer coatings to culture then release macrophage cells on demand" starting in March 2024 (negotiable) is open in the
Institute of Condensed Matter and Nanosciences of the University of Louvain (UCLouvain, Belgium) in close collaboration with
Ncardia (Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium).


Macrophages are a prominent cell type for cell therapies as they can enhance immune responses, and improve outcomes in a plethora of diseases, such as solid tumors, neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases, fibrosis, congenital immunodeficiencies, and infections.

In this context, Ncardia has developed a protocol to produce macrophages from the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC).

However, a robust and reproducible production process is now required to create cell therapy products based on macrophages.

In this context, the Bio and Soft Matter division of the Institute of Condensed Matter and Nanosciences (UCLouvain) will provide its expertise in the development of
biofunctional polymer layers to elaborate
stimuli-responsive coatings allowing
to culture macrophages at large scale in bioreactors
then release them on-demand, in gentle conditions to preserve their integrity and consequently their therapeutical properties.
