Pro-Gradu projekteja tarjolla / Pro-Gradu projects available!
by Aki Manninen 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

2 Pro Gradu Thesis positions available in Epithelial Cell Biology Lab for highly motivated students. Do you want to get intensive training in molecular cell biology during your Pro Gradu Thesis project? The Manninen Lab is investigating how extracellular microenvironment controls cell behavior and differentiation. We have one Pro Gradu project where you would be learning to use a novel digital holography microscopy (DHM) technic to image live cell dynamics in real-time! Various cell types, including 3-dimensional cell clusters, will be analyzed using the DHM and compared with more traditional, yet state-of-art laser confocal systems at Biocenter Oulu Tissue Imaging Center. Another Pro Gradu project involves culture and characterization of primary prostate cancer organoids. These clinically relevant patient-derived samples are the future of applied medical research! Organoid-based culture systems are being developed in many top labs all over the world as they are expected to revolutionize the use of cellular models for pharmaceutical industry and diagnostic research. See http://www.oulu.fi/biocenter/groups/manninen<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oulu.fi%2Fbiocenter%2Fgroup…> for further information about the research group.

From: bco-bounces(a)lists.oulu.fi [mailto:bco-bounces@lists.oulu.fi] On Behalf Of Tienhaara, Anita M H Sent: 3. elokuuta 2017 17:01 To: finbionet(a)helisci.fi Subject: [Bco] The Garcia laboratory at the Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki is looking for graduate students and/or postdoctoral fellows (research in the RNA field) The Garcia laboratory at the Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki is looking for graduate students and/or postdoctoral fellows to contribute in deciphering the open questions in the field of RNA repeat toxicity associated with neuromuscular degenerative disorders. RNAs bearing expanded nucleotide repeats are associated with a wide number of neurodegenerative disorders from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to Myotonic Dystrophies (DMs). The laboratory's goal is to dissect the distinct factors and mechanisms that underlie the processes of cellular degeneration caused by these toxic RNAs. The laboratory combines genetic with biochemical approaches and uses C. elegans models of Myotonic Dystrophy and mammalian systems to address these questions. The available projects are funded by a grant from the Academy of Finland and will be discussed in detail during the interview of the selected candidates. The University of Helsinki and Institute of Biotechnology provide an international, dynamic and cooperative research environment. Requirements and position details: - Candidates should be highly motivated and dedicated to research with strong interpersonal and verbal communication skills - Should have the ability to work independently, organize their workload and communicate ideas/results - Fluency in spoken and written English is essential - Experience in RNA biology and in biochemical approaches will be considered an asset - Background in C. elegans research is preferable but not a limiting factor - These positions are fully funded for 3.5 years; there is also access to graduate/postdoc fellowships for future exploration. Relevant Bibliography: Garcia SMDA, et al (2014) Nat Struct Mol Biol.; 21(8):712-20. The preferred starting date is October 2017 for postdocs and December 2017/January 2018 for graduate students. The deadline for applications is September 8th and 30th, 2017 for posdoc and graduate student candidates, respectively or until suitable candidates are found. If you are interested in joining the lab please submit your application as a single pdf that includes: - a cover letter describing your research interests (including aspects of the research program that particularly interest you), as well as your research accomplishments - current CV and list of publications - contact information of three references (e.g. MSc/PhD thesis supervisors). The application should be submitted to: https://elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/81339/lomake.html For more information, please contact Susana Garcia (susanamaria.garcia(at)helsinki.fi).
