The fellow will investigate novel players and mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of ovarian cancer stem cells. The project will rely on a broad spectrum of experimental models (patient-derived primary cells, new-generation organotypic 3D cultures, mouse xenografts), with an outstanding clinical relevance, thanks to our close interaction with the Division of Gynecology in IEO Hospital. Molecular profiling with various omics technologies and a wide range of biochemical and cell biological assays will be applied to unravel the biological mechanisms that orchestrate the pro-malignant function of ovarian cancer stem cells.

We are looking for a highly motivated lab technician with a degree in Biology, Biotechnology, or a related field.

Two positions (one pre- and one post-doctoral fellow) are available to join the team of Prof. Letizia Lanzetti, at the Candiolo Cancer Institute starting from January 2025 The highly innovative and exciting projects concern: 1)the identification of a novel molecular mechanism responsible for sensing lipid storage and consumption in breast cancer cells 2)the role of ER to Golgi transport in the metabolic plasticity of breast cancer cells

A Postdoctoral fellow position is available in the laboratory of “Stem cell-based functional genomics of cardiovascular disease” directed by Dr. Valentina Lo Sardo.

The European Institute of Oncology is seeking a bioinformatician in the Laboratory of Endocytosis, Signalling and Cancer, directed by Prof. Pier Paolo Di Fiore. The successful candidate will be involved in cutting-edge cancer research that integrates high-throughput and high-resolution approaches to unravel the mechanisms of carcinogenesis and metastasis. The group is strongly interested in both basic and applied cancer research.
