About this position
A PhD research fellowship is available in the Oral Physiology and Cancer Research Group (OPCG) at the Institute of Oral Biology, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo.
The project examines how extracellular vesicles released by oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) influence normal cells, including endothelial cells, and whether these cells are reprogrammed toward a tumor-supporting phenotype. The research is centered on tumor-host communication and the biological effects of cancer-derived vesicles in the local tumor environment and at a distance.
The successful candidate will work with experimental approaches to study changes in cell behavior after exposure to OSCC-derived extracellular vesicles. The project includes investigation of proliferation, intracellular calcium signalling, and metabolic alterations, among other phenotype changes.
The position is embedded in an oral biology and cancer research environment at the University of Oslo, with the work carried out in the OPCG group within the Faculty of Dentistry.
