Deok-Ho Kim and team awarded Human Frontier Science Program Research Grant
UW Bioengineering Associate Professor Deok-Ho Kim and a team of international collaborators were awarded a Human Frontiers Science Program (HFSP) Research Grant to investigate the dynamics of collective cell migration on curved surfaces. Their work aims to shed light on the mechanistic details underlying organism development and tissue repair, which could inform new and more effective approaches in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
The HFSP Research Grants provide funding support to innovative, frontier research projects in life sciences that employ cutting-edge scientific and technological methodologies to study highly complex mechanisms in living organisms. The award specifically recognizes and encourages interdisciplinary research involving scientists from various countries to facilitate collaborations across borders and continents.
Dr. Kim and his collaborators are among 23 awardees of the grant from around the world, selected from 63 full applications and 770 initial letters of intent. The grant provides $400,000 annually for a three-year period.
Dr. Kim will serve as the award’s co-principal investigator with Dr. Chwee Teck Lim, the NUS Society Chair Professor at the Departme

We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our team at the Institut Jacques Monod (IJM), Paris, France.
Our research work focuses on dissecting the mechanisms that control cell division in mammalian epithelium, using intestinal organoids as a model. The successful applicant will
join a collaborative project of two groups headed by Dr Delphine Delacour and Dr Nicolas Minc at the IJM. Located on the campus of Université de Paris, the IJM is one of the main public
centers for fundamental research in biology in the Paris area and offers a state-of-the-art field of research.
In addition, the Institute provides a multidisciplinary research environment, as well as access to different experimental approaches through our labs, departments and core
facilities to ensure the successful development of the research.
The applicant should be a researcher holding a PhD degree in molecular, cell and/or developmental biology, with no or maximum 2 years of experience. The candidate should
have solid experimental skills, notably expertise in live cell imaging ang high resolution imaging, as well as a strong interest in cytoskeleton biology. Experience with organoid cultures
would be beneficial but not mandatory. The applicant should be highly motivated, curious and enthus
