Successful regeneration or adaptation of muscle, tendon, bone, cartilage and skin requires optimal cellular conditions. Those conditions are determined by systemic factors, such as biochemical changes in the circulation that alter the niche of the cells, and by local factors, such as external loads, niche stiffness and architecture, availability of nutrients, oxygen, as well as presence or absence of signalling molecules such as growth factors, cytokines, and steroids.
AMS P3 integrates molecular biology, cell physiology, chemistry, biophysics, bioengineering, and medicine across various levels of organization (from cell to organ to whole organism and back) to study structure-function relationships, adaptation and regeneration of musculoskeletal and skin tissue. One of the aims of AMS Program Tissue Function and Regeneration is to develop a platform on which researchers, engineers and clinicians work multidisciplinary on clinical issues.
This year AMS Program Tissue Function and Regeneration offers talent grants for:
- Master students.
- PhD students.
- Early career scientists (Postdocs).
These talent grants are intended to provide bridging for master students/PhDs/postdocs in order to e.g. finish a paper, introduce a relevant technique, collect pilot data in preparation for another grant application, or to start a new collaboration. Deadline application: November 21, 2022, 12 pm (CET).
