Our group does research on precision cancer medicine with the aim of optimizing treatments for individual cancer patients based on molecular profiling, spatial cellular maps and functional drug testing. Our goal is to develop a systems biology framework and process to match therapies using cell type and omics- profiling with drug testing.

Teaching represents a fundamental activity at the Department, which participates in several undergraduate courses and postgraduate education programs. Each year approximately 15 students receive their PhD from our Department and many of our graduates have gone onto distinguished careers in the academic or private sector.

The prospective postdoctoral researcher will be integrated in the Vascular Surgery research group, MMK, KI. The Vascular Surgery group lead by Prof Ulf Hedin, MD, PhD is dedicated to translational and clinical research on vascular diseases and pathological vascular conditions.

Research, teaching and administration. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct research with a strong laboratory base that reinforces and complements research into functional imaging and targeted therapy that is already underway at SciLifeLab. The position involves responsibility for developing and implementing first, second and third-cycle studies within the subject area, including course coordination and administration and supervision of doctoral students. The successful candidate will also be required to follow developments in their own field and any general societal development of significance to work at the University. Administrative tasks and internal and external elected office may arise.
