University of Gothenburg (GU)
The Institute of Biomedicine is involved in both research and education. In both of these areas, we focus on fundamental knowledge of the living cell – what it consists of, how it works, how its function is directed by the genetic material, and how it interacts with various kinds of micro-organisms. Using this knowledge, we try to elucidate the causes of diseases, and find new ways to diagnose and treat them.
The Institute is composed of the following four departments
- The Department of Infectious Diseases
- The Department of Microbiology and Immunology
- The Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology
- The Department of Laboratory Medicine
At present, the institute has about 360 employees and approximately 440 million SEK in total assets.
The candidate will work at the Sahlgrenska Center for Cancer Research, a center within the University of Gothenburg in close association with Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The center is part of a strategic research effort within the Sahlgrenska Academy focused on cancer research and consists of a mixture of basic and clinical research projects with translational ambitions.
Subject area description
This open postdoc position is contained within Associate Professor Anders Ståhlberg’s research group at Sahlgrenska Center Research for Cancer.
Our long-term goal is early cancer detection in order to personalize the treatment of each patient.
This project aims to develop and use next generation cancer diagnostics by analyzing biomarkers in different liquid biopsies, especially blood.
The project focuses on sarcomas, including pediatric sarcomas, and the analyses of immune cells, cell-free tumor-DNA and proteins. Our work is in close collaboration with academy, health care and industry.
