(22) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position
Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral position to characterize how fibroblasts interact with complex extracellular matrices
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex three-dimensional network of fibrillar proteins, water, and proteoglycans and is critical for cell fate and function regulation in tissues. Cells sense the biochemical composition and the biophysical properties, such as the architecture and stiffness, of the ECM to regulate a wide variety of cellular functions including adhesion, migration, differentiation, metabolism, mechanics, and growth. In this highly challenging and interdisciplinary project we aim to decipher how cells sense the complexity of the ECM, structurally and biochemically relay the ECM properties into the cell and use this information to establish adhesion. To address this challenge, we will engineer biomimetic fibrillar, multicomponent ECM matrices, apply ultrasensitive atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based single-cell force spectroscopy (SCFS), and engineer cell lines to elucidate the dynamics of cell adhesion initiation and strengthening. To elucidate the molecular pathways regulating adhesion initiation and strengthening, we will use gene editing (CRISPR/Cas), RNAi silencing and chemical inhibitors. We aim to unravel at molecular detail the decisional processes of how cells establish adhesion to complex ECM compositions and architectures. By MINFLUX nanoscopy, which reaches an optical resolution of ~ 1 nm, we aim to determine how ECM properties determine the molecular architecture of cellular adhesomes and their functional implications for signaling. Therewith, we will focus on changes in the molecular adhesome architecture during adhesion maturation, how tension is distributed in the adhesome and on protein dynamics within adhesomes.
