Post-doctoral position / Scientist

The Leibniz-Institut für Analytische Wissenschaften – ISAS – e. V. is a research institute dedicated to
the development and improvement of analytical methods and tools for health research and related
fields. ISAS is a member of the Leibniz Association and is publicly funded by the Federal Republic of
Germany and its federal states.

The aim of the project is to develop new methods for biological research that are not based on animal
models ("non-animal testing"). Bio-printed 3D cell cultures are created that are NMR-compatible and
will enable to study transport processes in such tissue-like models in vitro.
