Scholarship
High-risk neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer with poor prognosis and there is a need for novel treatment strategies. We have recently established and characterized several neuroblastoma orthotopic patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). These PDXs retain the genotype, phenotype, tumorigenic, and metastatic properties of the tumors from which they were derived, making them authentic models for studying and targeting neuroblastoma metastasis and resistance (Braekeveldt et al., 2015&2016).
Our overall aims are to unravel mechanisms leading to metastasis and treatment resistance of neuroblastoma, and to test compounds targeting aggressive neuroblastoma. We perform molecular and functional studies of primary and metastatic tumor cells, as well as in vitro and in vivo drug testing using PDXs as model system. Methods include cell- and molecular biology techniques, RNA-sequencing, cell culturing, immunohisto-chemistry, in vitro drug testing, in vivo work including in vivo imaging.
We are looking for a highly motivated and ambitious postdoc interested in joining our team.
