PhD Position in metabolism, tumor heterogeneity and metastasis research
il y a 2 jours
OverviewThe Laboratory for Cellular Metabolism and Metabolic Regulation (Fendt Lab) is a young and dynamic team of researchers performing cutting edge cancer metabolism research with special focus on cancer metastasis and novel metabolic pathways. We exploit mouse models, genetic engineering, metabolomics and single cell & spatial multi-omics analysis to gain groundbreaking insights into metabolism as a driving force of cancer progression. Our work is published in high profile journals such as Nature, Nature Cancer, Cell Reports, and Molecular Cell. We have a strong international recognition and top collaboration partners all over the world.The VIB-KULeuven Center for Cancer Biology (CCB), located on Campus Gasthuisberg of the University of Leuven, contributes to the better understanding of the biology that underlies cancer initiation, progression and metastatic dissemination with the ultimate goal to develop more effective and specific anti-cancer (combination) therapies. CCB is currently composed of more than 200 scientists in 14 independent research groups and units. Our scientific interest lies in various hallmarks of tumors and their microenvironment, including inflammation, metabolism, genetic and epigenetic regulating circuits. CCB fosters an interdisciplinary environment and close collaboration with the Comprehensive Cancer Center LKI and the University Hospital, both located on the same campus, to promote translational research.VIB is an entrepreneurial and vibrant non-profit research institute in Flanders-Belgium with a clear focus on groundbreaking research in life sciences. About 1500 scientists and technologists from over 60 countries are based at the 5 Flemish Universities of Ghent, Leuven, Antwerp, Brussels and Hasselt, and are studying the broad spectrum of molecular mechanisms that regulate the functions of the human body, plants and microorganisms. Your profileAre you interested in studying the heterogeneity of metabolism in cancer metastases using spatial and single cell omics approaches? Having successfully applied state-of-the-art genetic engineering technologies (such as CRISPR/Cas9), molecular biology techniques including but not limited to western blot, qPCR, FACS, immunohistochemistry (IHC), confocal microscopy, cell culture techniques or multi-omics analyses is a plus. You are interested to start a PhD in metabolism, tumor heterogeneity and metastasis research. You want to work on a scientifically and experimentally challenging project. You can work independently but also like to collaborate within the team and with other research groups. You aim for high impact and are highly ambitious. We offerCutting edge research projects The opportunity to work on exciting research project on metastasis & metabolismMultidisciplinary and international collaborationsBeyond state-of-the-art technologies including (single cell and spatial) multi-omics analysesTeam work and individual research career developmentInternational team of young and dynamic researchersHow to apply?Interested candidates should submit their candidacy through the VIB online application tool.A complete application file (in English and in one single PDF file) should contain the following documents:motivation letter full CVlist of publicationscontact details of 3 refereesFor more information:Please contact us (https://fendtlab.sites.vib.be/... ) or follow us on Bluesky ABOUT LEUVENLeuven - only 20 minutes away from Brussels by train - is a vivid university city with a rich history, a well-preserved historical town center and a lively multi-cultural atmosphere.
