Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano

Yusuf Maitama Sule University, Kano was founded as North West University in 2012 as a second state university in the state of Kano. The university took its current name in 2017 in honour of Yusuf Maitama Sule, the former politician, representative at the United Nations, holder of several cabinet posts and 1979 presidential candidate.
 Students are divided between the city campus in Kano and the main campus on General Buhari Way in the Kofar Ruwa district.
The first four faculties at the university included education, humanities, social and management science and science and have subsequently been joined by basic medical education and clinical science. 
The training hospital launched in 2017 and admitted its first medical students in 2020. In 2022 it launched a collaboration with the Republic of Niger and the first cervical cancer screening laboratory in northern Nigeria. 
There are diploma and masters programmes in accounting and finance. 
Facilities include the university library, campus accommodation, the student union, support and counselling services, a health and wellness centre, ICT suites, sports centre and transport services.

In this position, you will work on microscopy-integrable measurement technologies used to study three-dimensional cell culture models of breast cancer tissues. This PhD candidate position is supported by the Cell-Scale Biomechanics Lab?, and is part of the lab’s recent technology-development projects, aimed at improving the accuracy of drug efficacy screening for chemotherapy. A recent press release on these projects can be found at the following link.?

This position’s focus is on developing engineered systems and methods to quantify the physical interactions between migrating cancer cells and the extracellular matrix, as well as advancing related technologies toward biomedical applications. ?The successful candidate will contribute to our lab’s microscale studies on the role of extracellular matrix mechanics, particularly in chemoresistance.? Notably, the biological aspects of chemoresistance and drug efficacy screening will be the responsibility of the lab’s postdoctoral researcher, who will work together with the PhD candidate. Applicants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with our existing publications.

In this work, there is also an expectation to be innovation-oriented, to help us drive the gradual development of these technologies toward real-world applications. This involves engineering experimental hardware for cell culturing workflows, optimizing experimental processes, and automatization. In discussion with the successful candidate, they will choose further research areas within our group, such as enhancing the spatial and temporal resolution of the measurements, and integrating simultaneous data acquisition with fluorescence live-cell microscopy. This PhD position offers the opportunity to develop technologies for acquiring novel data on cancer tissue biomechanics—information that has been previously unavailable and could benefit the broader biomedical community, including the pharmaceutical industry.
