About this position
The Maus Lab at the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology investigates how aging influences cancer development and progression. This PhD project addresses a fundamental question in cancer biology: although precancerous cells are common, why do only some individuals develop cancer?
The research will examine how aging gives precancerous cells a competitive advantage and how this altered cellular competition may promote colorectal cancer. The project aims to identify mechanisms through which aging reshapes the behavior and fitness of abnormal cells, potentially revealing ways to remove their advantage and reduce cancer risk.
By joining the Maus Lab, the PhD researcher will contribute to research at the intersection of aging biology, precancerous cell dynamics, colorectal cancer, and oncology. The group is part of VHIO, whose research focuses on understanding how aging causes cancer and translating these insights into improved cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.
