PhD in Decoding Volume Regulation Across Timescales with Ultrafast Imaging and Mechanistic Modelling

This PhD position focuses on the complex mechanisms governing cellular volume regulation across various temporal scales. The successful candidate will employ cutting-edge ultrafast imaging techniques to capture dynamic cellular processes in real-time. Complementing these experimental efforts, the project involves developing mechanistic mathematical models to interpret the observed biological phenomena. The researcher will work within a collaborative environment to bridge the gap between high-resolution data and theoretical understanding of cell physiology.

• Design and conduct experiments using ultrafast imaging to observe cellular volume changes.
• Develop and refine mechanistic mathematical models to describe volume regulation dynamics.
• Integrate experimental data with computational simulations to test biological hypotheses.
• Analyze high-resolution imaging data using advanced image processing techniques.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary team members to advance project objectives.
• Prepare research findings for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
