Microbiology/ Biofilms Researcher
SteriCoat Corp, a venture capital funded MIT spin-out, Cambridge, MA

SteriCoat is a team of eight chemical engineers, surface scientists, and business executives working with novel intellectual property that addresses medical device infections and biofilm formation. Part of the company’s technology was featured in Nature and the company gained initial traction by winning entrepreneurial competitions in 2006 at MIT, Harvard, Cambridge and Oxford Universities. The company provides a dynamic scientific environment and is a unique opportunity to be an important part of building a great company.

SteriCoat is interested in hiring a talented researcher who has a deep understanding of the interactions of bacteria with medical device surfaces, along with significant hands on experience with the gold-standard techniques for assessing antimicrobial surfaces in the best in vitro and in vivo models. Both PhD and masters levels students are applicable. Additional experience in evaluation of anti-thrombogenic material would be preferred. The core technology is performing surface modifications to biomaterials to reduce device colonization and thrombogenesis while maintaining biocompatibility.

Post-Doctoral Fellowship, Individual-based Modeling of Biofilms
Technical University of Denmark

The RaMAda project (Rapid Microbial Adaptation via Horizontal Gene Transfer) aims to predict and quantify the incidence of extant horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in microbial biofilm communities. This project has both an experimental and numericalcomputational element. Molecular biomarkers and confocal scanning laser microscopy are employed for single-cell resolved detection of microbial growth and gene transfer dynamics. Experimentation is conducted in parallel with the development of an Individual-based (Ib) model of microbial biofilms that incorporates a description of gene transfer dynamics. These Ib models are based on the simulation of interacting elementary agents (here the bacteria themselves) to exhibit the probable origin of emergent properties and patterns. The postdoctoral fellow will join a resident team of researchers and lead the computational element of the project. The goals are to establish robust procedures to identify and estimate input parameters to Ib models for microbial growth and gene transfer dynamics, to extend the features of our existing Ib software platform (iDynoMiCs), and to evaluate the predictive ability of Individual-based models for microbial biofilm systems.
