The LRCB (KU Leuven) is interested in studying RNA metabolism in cancer. In particular, we aim at characterising long non-coding RNAs important for cancer progression. Towards this we apply cutting edge molecular biology and biochemistry techniques coupled to in vivo and ex vivo preclinical studies, with the ultimate goal of identifying promising therapeutic targets. The laboratory hosts also Trace, a state-ofthe- art facility offering a unique collection of >150 well-annotated patient-derived models, belonging to 11 tumour types. KU Leuven is an exciting, interdisciplinary university hosting excellent facilities and research groups and providing extensive opportunities for training.
1-year postdoc position in my lab (vaccarilab.unimi.it) at the Department of Biosciences of the University of Milan. We study lysosomes and autophagy in fly models of rare disease. We use a combination of genetic, imaging and biochemical approaches and quantitative phenotypic assessments.
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.
A post-doctoral position is open in the Gabellini laboratory at San Raffaele Scientific Institute to characterize the molecular pathogenesis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and test novel therapeutic approaches. The project will integrate manipulation of cellular and animal models with genome-wide and functional approaches.
