Type: Wet lab · Cell culture · Limited proteomics (optional)
Project description
This project focuses on building advanced three-dimensional liver models that better reflect tissue organisation during fibrosis. Students will work with hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells to study how vascularisation influences extracellular matrix formation and fibrotic progression.
Example project aim
To establish a vascularised 3D liver fibrosis model and investigate how endothelial cells influence collagen deposition and fibrotic markers.
