MSc Research Student in Biomedical Sciences

Embark on a cutting-edge research journey with the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine. This MSc position focuses on enhancing anticancer activities of eggshell membranes using innovative green technologies.

Under the guidance of Prof. Maxwell T. Hincke, you will explore sustainable methods to increase the biological efficacy of eggshell membrane proteins and peptides. This project delves into their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, while tackling issues like solubility and bioavailability for commercial application. Your findings could pave the way for novel gut health supplements and cancer prevention strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct laboratory research on eggshell membrane processing

• Investigate antibacterial activity against enteric pathogens

• Explore regulation of inflammatory responses via bacterial lipopolysaccharides

• Analyze synergistic effects of eggshell and seaweed compounds

• Characterize impacts on colon cancer using advanced 3D models

Requirements:

• BSc in Biomedical Sciences or related field

• Strong interest in laboratory-based biomedical research

• Excellent communication and organizational skills

• Prior laboratory experience is preferred

• Knowledge in microbiology or biochemistry techniques

Leverage your passion for research to advance innovative solutions in cancer and gut health at the University of Ottawa.
