    ERC postdoc positions in vascular, computational, and cardiac biology - Mendjan lab

    The Mendjan lab aims to understand human heart development and disease through pioneering cardiac organoid technology. Our main question is, how does the human heart grow? We hypothesize that key developmental processes, such as trabeculation, compaction, vascularization, and postnatal hypertrophy, must be recapitulated to ultimately generate a mature cardiac organoid model for studying heart disease and developing new therapies.
