Single-cell multiomics in rare cancer cell populations from liquid biopsies

The announced PhD-student position in precision medicine is at the Department of Molecular Biology, Umeå University, Sweden. The position is the part of the projects within the consortium MIPrecise under Marie Sklodowska-Curie action by the Framwork Programme of the European Union for Research and Innovation Horizon Europe. The MIPrecise project aims to develop nano-antibodies and DNA and mRNA probes to capture tumor circulating cells, cancer-cell free-mRNA, cancer-DNA from the blood-based liquid biopsies. The Eearly-Stage Researchers (ESRs) will be recruited to work and trained in collaboration with the defined projects with the interdisciplinary fields ranging from cancer biology, biotechnology, oncology, biochemistry, polymer chemistry, bioinformatics and material sciences.

Project Description

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterised by rapid progression and low 5-year survival rates driven mainly by high frequency of brain metastases. Earl...
