美国波士顿大学2020年招收博士后

Kilachand Postdoctoral Fellowship, Multicellular Design Program, Biological Design Center, Boston University

At the Biological Design Center at Boston University, we are working to build an interactive and collaborative environment across disciplines in the newly funded Multicellular Design Program. The mission of this Program, which is funded through the Rajen Kilachand Fund, is to understand the underlying design, assembly, and control principles governing multicellular systems, and to take advantage of these principles for the development of new technologies and therapies.

Although the research community has developed a deep understanding of cells, their inner workings, and how they function as individuals, in nature, cells function as multicellular systems – operating in coordinated communities with emergent properties that are not present in isolated cells. Exploiting its unique combination of strengths in Synthetic Biology, Microbial Engineering, Tissue Engineering, Data Science, and Biophysics, Boston University is uniquely poised to address this major gap by establishing a new Multicellular Design Program. The Multicellular Design Program will establish a physical and organizational infrastructure that stewards a self-sustaining, vibrant community of Boston University scientists to pioneer this critical new field. Specifically, the MDP will provide 1) a platform for scientists across Boston University to bring to bear their expertises from computing, physics, mathematics, engineering, biology, and medicine into a major integrated effort to understand the design principles of multicellular systems, 2) a rich training ground for students and fellows at these interfaces, and 3) a new science that researchers across the globe can participate in. This program will shepherd in a new era in engineering biology with major societal impacts and demonstrate these impacts through creating synthetic multicellular communities for the rational design of smart medical therapies.

Kilachand Fellows will form the foundation of our interdisciplinary community and will help catalyze new directions in our science. Fellows will play a key role in integrating strengths of BU in new ways, combining theory, data sciences, synthetic biology, microbiology, immunology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine, amongst others. Fellows are expected to be active participants in future Multicellular Design Program seminars and workshops, and will have the opportunity to help shape this emerging field and its foundations here at Boston University.
