1st Network Meeting - a big success!
The first full Network Meeting of the DeLIVER consortium took place on a Hurtigruten ship. All supervisors and ESRs assembled in Tromso, Norway, one of our main beneficiary sites, before boarding the ship for a 3 1/2 day meeting. This setting provided an excellent framework for all ESRs, as well as their supervisors, to connect and form a tight network.
All supervisors were asked to briefly present the research activities of their labs as part of the introduction, followed by all ESRs giving talks about their background and their projects as part of the action.
In addition, two renowned experts provided extended lectures to the consortium:
Prof. David LeCouteur (Scientific Director of the Ageing and Alzheimer's Institute at Concord Hospital, Sydney, Australia) from the DeLIVER partner site at the University of Sydney, Australia, gave an introductory lecture on liver sinusoidal endothelial cell (LSEC) biology and their role in ageing. LSEC and their unique morphology and properties are the main biological target of this action.
Prof. Friedemann Kiefer (one of the Directors of the European Institute of Molecular Imaging in Münster, Germany) from the University Hospital Münster, Germany, gave an introductory lecture on intravital microscopy and the challenges arising from intravital imaging, a topic that will become of great importance for the latter half of this action.
In addition, the DeLIVER project manager Dr. Mark Schüttpelz gave a scientific skills course in the form of a general introduction to superresolution microscopy, and the project coordinator, Prof. Thomas Huser, gave a soft skills course on Responsible Conduct in Research, where issues such as initiating and maintaining collaborations, dispute resolution, publications, and scientific misconduct were discussed with the ESRs.

OPEN POSITIONS
PhD in Physics
The Department of Physics at the University of Gothenburg is located on the main campus of Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, with a total of some 80 employees. The communication routes are good both nationally and internationally. The researching focuses within the fields of Atom- and Molecular Physics, Condensed Matter Physics and Spintronics, and Complex Systems and Biophysics and is performed in an international environment with extensive national and international collaborations. The education programs at the Department include Bachelor- and Master programs in Physics, physics teacher-training programs, as well as outreach courses in Physics aimed for the general public. Gothenburg Physics Centre is a close collaboration with four other departments within the Faculty of Science and Chalmers University of Technology creates an innovative environment for all researchers and students at the department.
For further information about the Department of Physics, please visit our website at www.physics.gu.se/english. More information about Gothenburg Physics Centre can be found at www.chalmers.se/en/centres/gpc/Pages/default.aspx.
The research will be conducted in an interdisciplinary research group at the University of Gothenburg, led by Caroline Beck Adiels (cell biologist) and Mattias Goksör (physicist) in close collaboration with a neighbouring group led by Giovanni Volpe. By means of optical and microfluidic technology, the group seeks to answer different research questions originating in biology and life science (http://www.physics.gu.se/english/research/biological-physics). The research group is now hiring a PhD student that will be involved in the EU consortium DeLiver.
DeLiver is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN) that include 6 academic and 3 industrial beneficiaries, represented in 6 European countries. This multidisciplinary collaboration combines research within optical physics and biomedicine with the aim of developing novel technologies to perform structural and functional studies (on nano-scale) of the pores of endothelial cells. In mammals, these pores constitute the fundamental barrier between the blood circulation and vital organs. (More information can be found here: http://www.deliver-itn.eu).
