Job Title: Post-doctoral position in pre-clinical ultrasound and optical imaging, ParisCompany Description: The small animal imaging facility of Institut Cochin performs studies in ultrasound and bioluminescence imaging for both academic teams and private companies. It is specialized in in vivo evaluation and characterization of pathologies and runs 2 high resolution scanners (VEVO 2100, VEV0770, Visualsonics) and one ultrafast ultrasound scanner (Aixplorer, Supersonic Imagine). Our team has also strong experience in the development and evaluation of mice models of rheumatic diseases and their imaging using various modalities (ultrasound, bioluminescence, MRI, CT, ..).Job Description: Our team is involved in the H2020 European Project Folsmart dedicated to the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis using a new strategy targeting folate receptors with a liposome-based nanovector. We are in charge of the pre-clinical evaluation of this nanovector and the investigation of its mechanism of action in mice. We will use in vivo imaging techniques to address these questions, including high resolution ultrasound, opto-acoustics (also called photoacoustics), in vivo bi-photon imaging and ultra-fast ultrasound imaging.We offer a 2-year post-doctoral position to implement these tools in order to characterize and provide early assessment of the therapy in preclinical models of rheumatoid arthritis. Date of Employment should be between 17th October and the end of December 2016.References:Enhancing Methotrexate Tolerance with Folate Tagged Liposomes in Arthritic Mice.
