Lieu de travail : PARIS 05
Date de publication : vendredi 20 juin 2025
Type de contrat : IT en contrat CDD
Durée du contrat : 12 mois
Date d'embauche prévue : 1 septembre 2025
Quotité de travail : Complet
Rémunération : Between €2,325.29 and €2,459.05 gross per month, depending on experience
Niveau d'études souhaité : BAC + 2
Expérience souhaitée : Indifférent
BAP : A - Sciences du vivant, de la terre et de l'environnement
Emploi type : Assistante ingenieure ou assistant ingenieur biologiste en traitement de donnees
Missions
- Evaluate protocols for generating tumoroids using droplet-based microfluidics or microwell platforms
- Test anticancer therapies using these platforms, including chemotherapy and nanoparticle-based treatments
- Assess the risk-benefit profile of treatments in terms of tumor biomechanics and dissemination, particularly via the tumor secretome (including extracellular vesicles)
More precisely, we are looking for an assistant engineer to work closely with a PhD student on a project in the field of nanomedicine, with a particular focus on photothermal therapy for cancer. The project partially involves the use of microfluidics to gain a deeper understanding of the effects of photothermal therapy in combination with other treatments.
The assistant engineer's work will primarily focus on the biological aspects of the project. Key responsibilities will include conducting experiments on cancer cells, supporting microfluidic and photothermal therapy experiments, and performing data analysis.
Activités
• Master the use of droplet microfluidics platforms for spheroid formation
• Learn microfabrication protocols for spheroid generation
• Contribute to the development of tumoroid models incorporating tumor cell lines, cancer-associated fibroblasts, and potentially patient-derived xenografts (PDXs)
• Conduct chemotherapy tests, particularly sequential and combination therapies
• Test nanoparticle- and laser-based therapies, possibly in combination with chemotherapy
• Produce and characterize extracellular vesicles derived from tumoroids
Compétences
• Bioengineering
• Cell culture
Contexte de travail
