**ABOUT THE HOST LAB**
The BVDK Lab is developing personalized vaccines for lung cancer patients. We recently finalized a phase I clinical trial in collaboration with the Dept of Lung Diseases showing the induction of strong immunological responses against selected tumor-specific epitopes after vaccination. Currently we are further optimizing this strategy in two different ways. (1) Vaccine composition: we are optimizing an mRNA vaccine in collaboration with the Dept of Pharmacology. (2) We are optimizing the selection of tumor-specific epitopes using state of the art bioinformatic tools and proteomics in collaboration with the Genetics Department (prof B Menten) and VIB proteomics (prof F Impens, L Martens).
Job opening concerns a PhD student position for the development of new strategies to identify strong tumor-specific epitopes using bioinformatic analyses on total RNA and genomic DNA sequencing data of tumor biopsies and blood samples of patients. Optimization of methods for small patient tumor biopsies. Prof Menten and Vandekerckhove are the promotors.
