biointerface lab

At the biointerface lab we strive to understand and control phenomena occurring at the interface between synthetic materials and biological molecules. We are especially focused on biomineralization, and one of our main goals is to develop "surface interactive scaffolds" for soft and hard tissue regeneration, with a functional surface designed to induce or inhibit mineralization depending on the desired application. To achieve this goal, our multidisciplinary approach combines a physical-chemistry study with cellular and in-vivo tests, which we perform in collaboration with researchers from Dentistry, Medicine and the Centre for Bone and Periodontal Research at McGill.

I am currently looking for one brilliant candidate for a PhD position, working on the apatite mineralization project. An excellent background in chemistry, bioengineering or materials science is required. Knowledge of IR, Raman or XPS spectroscopy is an important plus. Given the very high volume of applications, I recommend you to write a very good cover letter when you send your CV. I will reply only if the applicant has a chance to be considered for the position.
