CCBIO

CCBIO is directed by Professor Lars A. Akslen and is working on biomarkers in order to attain better and more tailored cancer treatment. The researchers have a special focus on mechanisms and biomarkers related to tumor growth and tumor-microenvironment interactions and the impact this has upon metastasis and poor prognosis. The research activity is organized in three programs: basic studies and animal models (Program 1), discovery and validation of new biomarkers (Program 2) and clinical studies (Program 3). CCBIO has a strong international profile and interacting collaborators worldwide.

 

Work tasks

The adjunct senior researcher will advise and conduct research with CCBIO researchers within the relevant fields and especially within projects aiming to identify molecular markers for breast cancer progression and response to treatment. A special focus will be on projects that carry out multi-level molecular profiling of tumor tissue including DNA, RNA and protein by the use of state-of-the-art genomics technology. In addition to working with human tissue, mouse models will be crucial in order to study tumor development and progression as well as monitoring treatment response in patient derived xenograft models. Other important tasks will be to receive and supervise junior scientists from CCBIO and participate in CCBIOs research seminars and the CCBIO Research School for Cancer Studies and to contribute towards widening CCBIOs international network.
