Part-time Research Assistant

Researchers at REMEDI are involved in a multi million euro European Union-funded project which aims to develop new methods for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The project entitled: ’Gene Activated Matrices for Bone and Cartilage Regeneration in Arthritis’ (GAMBA) joins a team of international specialists from nine research groups from Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland to investigate new methods for inducing regenerative processes within the body. The project aims to develop novel methods for the treatment of osteoarthritis by stimulating the self healing capacity of damaged cartilage and bone using stem cells and gene therapy.

An essential part of the project will be to initiate a public debate on ethical, legal and societal issues connected to the research. Galway will host one of these efforts to enhance awareness of nanomedicine in the general public and appreciation of public expectations and reservations in the research community. We require an enthusiastic person to join the outreach effort on a part time basis from March 2012 to assist in facilitating the citizen and patient panels that will be held in Galway. These panels will be held at selected intervals in 2012.
