Recruitment within the project Horizon 2020, European Training Networks (MSCA-ITN-ETN) pt. LOGIC LAB: Molecular logic lab-on-a-vesicle for intracellular diagnostics.
The objective of LOGIC LAB project is to establish a novel type of molecular logic sensors that reliably operate in biological systems. In particular, novel biosensors will be used to assess endothelial phenotype in isolated endothelial cells and in ex vivo vascular preparations. With excellent cross- disciplinary scientific and complementary training provided in the network, we aim to educate highly-skilled, interdisciplinary young scientists.
