II) Job offer description
We are looking for a motivated collaborator for the position of postdoctoral fellow (post-doc or senior post-doc) in the Laboratory of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in the TEAM-NET project funded by the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP). The selected candidate will study the molecular mechanisms responsible for the interactions of pancreatic endothelial cells with developing human beta cells, which produce insulin.
The research will be conducted using the latest research techniques, such as: culture and differentiation of human stem cells into pancreatic beta cells, creation of pancreatic organoids, advanced genome editing techniques (inhibition and activation of expression) including screening, RNA sequencing at the single-cell level, Perturb-seq, functional tests of beta cells, and advanced microscopic imaging and flow cytometry with imaging. Mastery of all these techniques is not required, as this project will be carried out in collaboration, but there is the possibility of getting to know these techniques more closely.
The project will be carried out in collaboration with the University of Warsaw, with the team of Dr. T. Kamiński, an expert in microfluidics, and the Jagiellonian University, with the team of Prof. J. Dulak, an expert in endothelial cell biology. The acquired knowledge will be of key importance for the development of cellular and gene therapy for people with diabetes.
The laboratory is located in Poznań, at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Faculty of Biology, Adam Mickiewicz University, which is among the top scientific institutions in Poland. Our team is a young, dynamic, and efficiently operating team focused on cooperation, development, and mutual respect.Selected publications of the team (prof. Borowiak):

• Nature, 2012
• Cell Stem Cell, 2009
• Nature Chemical Biology, 2009
• Nature Biotechnology, 2008
• Nature Communications 2018, 2017a, 2017b, 2023, 2025
