The Kim Laboratory at EPFL is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study how neuronal activity and the physical tumor microenvironment cooperate to drive brain cancer progression. The project focuses on the mechanochemical dialogue between the nervous system and glioma cells. Building on recent work from the group showing that neuron-derived neuroligin-3 engages CSPG4, increases membrane tension, and activates the mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1, the successful candidate will investigate ...
