Description

The Inserm Unit U/Infinte, located on the Lille university hospital campus, is seeking a Master’s (M2) candidate for the – academic year. With a background in university or engineering studies, your profile and interests lie at the interface between biology/biochemistry and biophysics/bioinformatics.

Your project will focus on determining the properties of various mucus samples using passive microrheology, primarily obtained from primary epithelial cell cultures. These studies will be complemented by analyses of bacterial motion. The project mainly involves cell culture as well as computational analysis of the movement of fluorescent beads and bacteria. The objective is to provide proof of concept that selected molecules can modify the properties of altered mucus.

The ideal candidate is meticulous, rigorous, passionate about research, and eager to fully engage in a multidisciplinary project.
