PhD Scholarship in Photoacoustic Optical Fiber Devices for in vivo Applications - DTU Electro

If you want to establish your career as an early-stage neuro-engineer and are currently looking for the best possible foundation for your dreams and ambitions, it is right here in front of you. With this PhD position, we offer you the possibility of establishing your career as a scientist in advanced photoacoustic neural interfaces for the central nervous system. You will be working at DTU Electro, in the Neural Devices and Gas Photonics group in close collaboration with the world-leading group Prof. Lei Wei from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. They are seeking a highly motivated and talented candidate for a PhD position to join their team and contribute to their efforts in developing next-generation neural devices for controlling the brain activity. You will work on an innovative project that involves the development and characterization of novel piezoelectric materials, optical fiber fabrication using thermal drawing process, integration of the developed interfaces with photoacoustic imaging setups, and in vivo evaluation of the interfaces for stimulation, recording and imaging of movement disorders in the motor cortex of the brain. Such an interface, which currently does not exist, will be capable of providing important information on how the brain works while having a high potential for clinical translation for the treatment of brain diseases such as Parkinson’s. This position offers a unique opportunity to engage in the field of neurophotonics, collaborate with WEI group in Singapore and Department of Neuroscience of University of Copenhagen. The PhD student will become part of the DTU and NTU collaboration with expertise in optical materials, design, fiber fabrication and in vivo investigations. Responsibilities and qualifications While existing methods for stimulation and imaging of brain activity constitute an important tool for medical doctors and neuroscientists, there are still significant bottlenecks towards treating major neurological diseases. For instance, while optogenetics is a powerful method to control neurons, genetic manipulation is required, imposing practical limitations on its clinical translation. On the other hand, calcium imaging offers limited temporal resolution because traditional calcium indicators have relatively slow kinetics, which means they cannot accurately capture rapid changes in neural activity. This PhD project will exploit the development of a novel bi-directional stimulation and imaging interface by utilizing an alternative neuromodulation approach to control brain activity based on photoacoustics. In this process, light pulses are absorbed by brain tissue, causing transient heating and thermal expansion and generating broadband ultrasound signals. The ultrasounds are then collected back from the same interface for image reconstruction. Photoacoustic imaging is a powerful method for high-resolution and deep tissue imaging because it combines the high contrast of optical imaging with the high spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging. Your overall focus will be developing photoacoustic fiber probes for neurostimulation, recording and imaging of the brain activity all-at-once. Your primary tasks will be: Identify the most suitable piezoelectric materials for the development of the fiber probes Simulate the optical properties of the photoacoustic fibers Fabricate and characterize in vitro the photoacoustic fiber probes Conduct animal experimentation Applying the developed probes for in vivo investigation with emphasis in the motor system Supervise BSc and MSc student projects Data analysis, writing of scientific articles and presentations at conferences and meetings. Participate in outreach activities including, but not limited to, social media updates, participation in public events and campaigns, as well as dissemination to popular press. Your required qualifications and skills are: Excellent English communication skills, both spoken and written. Self-motivation in research and innovation. Ability to work independently while effectively collaborating with partners. ‘ A master level education in the fields of materials, optical fiber technology, electrophysiology and imaging Experience in simulation tools such as COMSOL and Zemax including MATLAB coding You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree. As an ideal candidate, you should also have one or more competences below: Experience in material characterization and optical fiber fabrication using thermal drawing process. Optical characterization of fiber devices Experience with piezoelectric materials and photoacoustics Knowledge with imaging techniques and electrophysiology Experience with in vivo experiments in acute and chronic settings The ability to work independently while effectively collaborating with other team members The exact research activities will be continuously adapted to ensure high relevance and impact.

Researcher in Pain Biology at the Department of Neuroscience

The Madsen Group are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic Researcher with expertise in in vivo imaging, single cell RNA sequencing and pain biology. The position is a 2.5-year position to start July 1, 2025, or after agreement. The group and research The research group started in 2013 and currently include 1 Post Doc, 3 PhD students, 2 master students, a research assistant and a technician. Their research addresses fundamental aspects of basic pharmacology, molecular pharmacology and neuropharmacology, with certain translational aspects. The work is divided into three Work Packages each containing a number of specific projects. Work Package 1 is focused on the pharmacology of PSD95/Disc-large/ZO-1 homology (PDZ) mediated proteins-protein interaction and how these domains might represent new attractive pharmacological targets as alternatives to surface receptors. Translational aspects of the WP relate to PDZ inhibitors for treatment of pain and addiction. Work Package 2 seeks to understand the role of protein-membrane interactions in context of synaptic transmission and generation of Large Dense Core vesicles. It further explores the controversial idea that trafficking of receptors and transporters, which in many cases is strongly integrated with their pharmacology, is determined not only by protein-protein interactions, but also by yet unappreciated protein-lipid interactions that govern localization of the receptors and transporters to areas of high membrane curvature in the plasma membrane. Work Package 3 is aimed at obtaining fundamental new understanding of dopamine signalling processes in the brain and its relation to PKA signalling. Evidently, this has broad pharmacotherapeutic perspectives given the key role of dysfunctional dopamine signalling in many brain disease including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, ADHD, Parkinsons’ Disease and drug abuse. Methodologically, they specialize in molecular biology, protein purification, receptor binding, advanced light microscopy, including live microscopy and fluorescence energy transfer microscopy (FRET), as well trafficking assays of integral membrane proteins using ELISA and confocal microscopy. They also have experience with transgenic mouse models and various behavioural readouts.

One or More Postdocs in Calcium/Calmodulin Signaling

Human calmodulin mutations cause cardiac arrhythmia but have recently also been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. While we have established a good foundation to understand the molecular mechanisms in cardiac arrhythmia, we do not know the neuronal pathways. Thus, we wish to study the molecular mechanistic impact of calmodulin mutations in the protein, in neurons and in cardiomyocytes. To address the functional consequences of calmodulin mutations at the protein level, we have an extensive protein biophysics research platform with well-established protocols for purification of calmodulin protein and for measuring mutation effects on calcium binding and target interactions. For studying effects in cardiac or neuronal cells/tissues, we use cultured immortalized cell lines(SH-SY5Y and HEK293) andCaenorhabditis elegans animals. There is also a potential to include iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. While some methods for cell work are implemented, it will also be necessary to establish new experimental protocols.

Postdoc in Neuroendocrinology and Physiology

The Halberg lab at the University of Copenhagen is looking to recruit a highly talented and motivated Postdoc for our group. Our lab is interested in how endocrine messengers (neuropeptides and hormones) coordinate organ functions by relaying information about the internal state or external environment in a manner that allows the organism to adapt and survive. We mainly use two model organisms Tribolium castaneum and Drosophila melanogaster to explore these using genetic and molecular tools to interfere with the function of molecules, cells or organs in order to study the impact on the whole organism. Beyond gaining insights into the basic underpinning biology, our research aims to be important for understanding human diseases. Carlsberg Foundation funded project. Water wisdom of beetles: Exploring unique osmoregulatory adaptations as linchpins of evolution Beetles are the largest animal group on earth, inhabiting almost every corner of our planet. Unique adaptations in overcoming water stress lie at the heart of their evolutionary success, and have been instrumental in enabling them to become devastating agricultural pests worldwide. However, very little is known about the molecular mechanism underpinning of these adaptations and how they have enabled their rapid diversification, which represents a major gap in our knowledge. Using single nucleus RNA sequencing, this project will build single-cell atlases of major osmoregulatory tissues, such as the tubule and rectal complex, and subsequently functionally characterize candidate genes by loss- and gain-of-function protocols combined with a battery of physiological assays. Together, this program seeks to 1) expand on our understanding of osmoregulation in beetles, 2) yield insight into the mechanisms driving evolution of the most diverse group on earth and 3) pave the way for the discovery of novel pest control solutions.
