Postdoctoral studies in angiogenesis and cancer metabolism

Study how tumour vasculature and metabolism shape tumour growth, metastasis and responses to anticancer drugs in Yihai Cao's laboratory in the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology. The cross-disciplinary project combines omics approaches with in vivo disease models to define therapeutic targets and new drugs for cancer therapy.

Open to foreign researchers who come to Sweden for all or part of their postdoctoral training at Karolinska Institutet; people resident in Sweden or with any part of their academic education in Sweden are not eligible. Applicants need a doctorate in an appropriate field (or must meet all degree requirements before the intended start) and a strong research record in cancer; experience with vascular biology, metabolism, metastasis and drug treatment in mouse models is essential. A scholarship lasts at most two years within four years of the doctorate.
