About this position
Paracelsus Medical University (PMU), Austria, is advertising a PhD position in the Institute of Molecular Regenerative Medicine within the PMU PhD program (Doctoral program in Medical Science). The project focuses on spinal cord injury research and investigates the therapeutic potential of human platelet lysate as a pro-regenerative treatment with the goal of developing a clinically translatable approach.
The research environment is interdisciplinary and sits at the interface of neuroscience, biomaterials, translational medicine, and regenerative medicine.
