- Topic Amyloidosis disease is the abnormal accumulation of protein in amyloid conformation in vital organs and tissues throughout the body, ultimately resulting in multiorgan dysfunction, organ failure and a lethal outcome if left untreated. A major difficulty for proper diagnosis is to correctly identify the type of amyloid accumulating in a particular patient.

This large multi-disciplinary initiative aims to have a high societal impact by delivering improved diagnostics methods, supporting patient care and developing new disease treatments. To deliver in this ambitious challenge we are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join our amyloidosis research team at the Switch lab.-
About the lab The SWITCH Laboratory is a leader in the field of protein aggregation research related to human disease. We are an interdisciplinary workplace, bringing together more than twenty-five researchers from different backgrounds, such as bioinformatics, biophysics, chemistry and cell biology. SWITCH has a unique platform of technologies for studying protein aggregation, including biophysical, ultrastructural and cell biological instrumentations. You can read more about us on our website and be sure to check out our laboratory section to explore the fantastic infrastructure that SWITCH has to offer
