Karolinska Institutet invites applications for a Postdoc in Vascular Biology Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology
Applications are invited for 2-3 postdoctoral positions at the Laboratory of Angiogenesis Research, MTC, Karolinska Institutet. The angiogenesis research group is one of the leading research teams at the international front to do cutting-edge angiogenesis research work in the area of cancer, obesity/diabetes, ocular disease and cardiovascular disease. The team is focused on translational research work with emphasis of clinical relevance. MTC is one of the biggest departments at the Karolinska Institutet and it provides the state-of-the-art core facility for biological research at various levels ranging from molecular to in vivo disease models.2-3 postdoc positions are now open for highly motivated scientists with background in molecular biology, cell biology, animal disease models and metabolic disorders. Candidates with backgrounds in vascular biology, immunohistochemical analysis and mouse genetics have advantages. The projects will be focused in studying molecular mechanisms of angiogenesis in cancer and obesity. Successful candidates will apply animal genetic and disease models to study pathological angiogenesis in these tissues. These studies will most likely lead to identification of novel therapeutic targets for drug development and define new biomarkers for clinical selection of responsive patients and monitoring therapeutic efficacy of existing drugs. Our laboratory has broad international collaborations.
