About this position
This PhD opportunity is hosted by the Innate Immune Response & Tumour Immunology group at the IdiPAZ Institute of Biomedical Research within La Paz Hospital in Madrid, Spain.
The doctoral thesis will focus on basic and translational research into how cancers evade immune surveillance, generate metastases, and interact with the immune system. The laboratory works particularly on colorectal cancer and melanoma, providing a research setting that connects tumour biology, immunology, and clinically relevant investigation.
The student will work with patient-derived organoids and clinical samples while applying advanced experimental approaches including spectral flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. The project is situated in a hospital-based and international environment, with opportunities for research stays abroad and exposure to collaborative biomedical research.
The group is seeking a highly motivated researcher interested in experimental cancer research and the mechanisms underlying tumour–immune interactions.
