Descripción de la oferta
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate to join the Molecular Mechanics Of The Cardiovascular System Laboratory, led by Jorge Alegre-Cebollada at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Research (CNIC) in Madrid, Spain.
We are a multidisciplinary team of scientists who investigate how mechanical forces determine muscle function at the molecular, cellular, tissue and organismal levels. Our motivation is to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal diseases. We combine the latest single-molecule manipulation techniques (Atomic Force Microscopy and Magnetic Tweezers) with complementary computational methods. To provide biological context to our results, we also measure mechanics at the level of cardiomyocytes and myocardial preparations and take advantage of our expertise in protein biochemistry and molecular and cell biology. In our pursue of biological contextualization, we have recently expanded the range of mechanical manipulation of proteins to living cells and animals. For more information, please visit:
