PhD Opportunities in Spatial Transcriptomics in Belgium

This PhD position at Amsterdam UMC sits at the intersection of medical oncology, hematology, immunology, and early-phase clinical research. The project focuses on improving cancer immunotherapy through two phase I studies, bringing together clinical trial work and laboratory-based translational research in a multidisciplinary setting. The first study investigates whether an existing hematological drug can safely enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy in solid tumours. The second study examin...

Karolinska Institutet is offering a four-year doctoral project in the Baryawno laboratory at BioClinicum in Stockholm, affiliated with the Division of Pediatric Oncology and Pediatric Surgery in the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health. The project, “Decoding the metastatic cascade to bone,” addresses high-risk neuroblastoma, an embryonal tumour in which bone marrow metastases are common and relapse in bone is frequently fatal. The research will investigate which tumour clones seed bone, ...

This PhD project investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms that connect repetitive mild traumatic brain injury to long-term hippocampal dysfunction, memory decline, and dementia-related neurodegeneration. The research focuses on how repeated head impacts alter the fate of resident neural stem cells in the hippocampus, including neurogenesis, astrogliogenesis, reactive astrogliosis, inflammatory signaling, and microglial activation, and how these changes may contribute to persistent cogn...

This is a computational research role focused on artificial intelligence, computational pathology, computer vision, deep learning, image processing, multi-omics, spatial biology, and precision oncology . The lab studies cancer using digital pathology and multi-omics data, with an emphasis on translating quantitative tiss...

PhD opportunity at the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products (CNAP), Department of Biology, University of York , in collaboration with the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge . This project sits at the intersection of plant biology , engineering biology , 3D imaging , single-cell genomics , spatial transcriptomics , and computational genomics . The research asks how cells from two evolutionarily distant plant species recognise each other, reprogramme their identities, and form...

Institut Imagine in Paris, France is recruiting for two research opportunities in the group of Araksya Izmiryan within the Laboratory of Genetic skin diseases: from disease mechanism to therapy (Lab Director: Alain Hovnanian ). The research theme is highly translational and focuses on genetic skin diseases , especially epidermolysis bullosa . The group works on genome editing , stem cell biology , patient-derived skin models, and advanced 3D systems to develop innovative therapeutic strategies. ...

Two PhD candidates are being recruited for a collaborative neuroscience project on repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) and its role in long-term memory decline and dementia. The project is titled “From injury to decline: understanding cellular mechanisms driving traumatic brain injury-associated dementia” and is a joint effort between Carlos P. Fitzsimons at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences, University of Amsterdam and Evgenia Salta at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscie...
