PhD Opportunities in Immunology in Sweden

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, ...

Karolinska Institutet is recruiting a doctoral student to the Center for Immuno-Oncology at the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology. The project focuses on the natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxic operating system: the interconnected intracellular programs that regulate NK-cell maturation, tumor killing, persistence, and resistance to tumor-associated stress. The Malmberg research group studies human NK-cell biology and develops next-generation NK-cell-based immunotherapies. The doc...

Karolinska Institutet is offering a doctoral position in immunology focused on tuberculosis diagnostics and vaccine development. The project is based in the Department of Infectious Diseases and examines why some individuals control Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection without developing active disease. The doctoral researcher will investigate adaptive immune responses associated with protection or disease. The goal is to identify biomarkers that can improve tuberculosis diagnostics and to contr...
