1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nanomedicine Based Cancer Therapy
Summary of PhD Program:
Cancer initiation and progression depend on the interplay between heterogeneous tumor cells and the surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME), consisting of various types of stromal cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). All these events are known to associate to actions of cell secreted nanovesicles (extracellular vesicles (EVs)). Our research focuses on understanding the composition and roles of such tumor derived EVs by using in vivo and ex vivo models to develop novel cancer diagnostic and targeted therapeutic.
Application Deadline: 30.Sep.2024
2. 11 Fully Funded PhD Position in Digital Waters research area
Summary of PhD Program:
The doctoral pilot will focus on the Flagship research themes on complex interactions and responses in the hydrosphere, methodological, data/digital and management skills needed to become game changers and leaders in the field of water research, governance, and innovation. We will address the methodological challenges of dealing with growing amount of (big) data and large datasets across different climatic zones (boreal – arctic), the use of new observational systems in field campaigns, and integrated analysis and modelling of environmental processes under climate and land-use change pressures.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computational Cancer Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
The Izzi group (https://github.com/Izzilab) is a leader in developing computational tools for the analysis of ECM in high-dimensional, multi-modal data. As a doctoral researcher in our group, you will participate in developing machine learning/AI algorithms to deconvolute the connections between ECM niches and functional cancer cell states at the single-cell, spatial, and proteomics level. Expectedly, these algorithms will help identifying druggable ECM targets in cancer, which will be validated in our cellular and in vivo cancer models.
