Researcher

Duties

This translational project aims to improve understanding of how tumor microenvironment in colorectal cancer (CRC) is affecting prognosis and response to treatment. The study uses state-of-the-art methodologies for multiplexed in situ cancer profiling, combined with project-specific methods for quantifications of fibroblast and vessel characteristics. Studies are performed using a set of clinically well-annotated large CRC collections. The project is a collaboration between the groups of Prof. Tobias Sjöblom, Uppsala University, Prof. Arne Östman, Karolinska Institutet and Prof. Pia Österlund, Karolinska Institutet/Helsinki University.

Requirements

The candidate should have a PhD degree and at least 4 years of experience of post-doctoral work in a relevant area. Documented expertise in multiplex staining and associated digital image analysis is required.

Additional qualifications

Earlier experience of quantitative profiling of tumor microenvironment is considered as an additional merit.
