Project abstractJV_description

In general, the responses to immunotherapy have been poor in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. However, treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy that induces immunogenic cell death may transform non-immunogenic tumors to respond to such therapy. The candidate will investigate immune responses to chemotherapy and immunotherapy by functional MR imaging and/or characterization of circulating mitochondrial DNA, related to tumor hypoxia and immunity, using novel technologies developed at the Division of Medicine and Laboratory Sciences, in patients enrolled onto an ongoing clinical-translational interventional trial for advanced colorectal cancer.

Qualification requirements

• The successful candidate should be highly motivated, at least hold an MSc/MD degree and have relevant experience from translational cancer medicine.
• Because of patient safety issues in the ongoing therapy study, it is required that the candidate has insights into the technologies that are used in the project.

It is highly preferred that the candidate can start in the position in May 2019 at the latest.
