PhD in Regenerative Medicine

The Göritz laboratory offers a stimulating, international research environment. We are part of the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at Karolinska Institutet, one of the world’s leading medical universities. The lab is located at Biomedicum, a state-of-the-art research facility at the Solna campus in Stockholm, Sweden./nThe Göritz laboratory investigates cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate regeneration and repair in the adult central nervous system (CNS), with a particular focus on spinal cord injury and other CNS lesions./nThe advertised PhD project will focus on identifying mechanisms that control tissue remodeling after CNS injury. The project will combine genetic mouse models with injury models, cutting-edge spatial single cell expression profiling, and targeted pathway manipulation./nThe overall goal is to define cellular interactions and molecular pathways that can be harnessed to promote regeneration and repair in the injured CNS, with relevance for translational strategies in human disease./nAs a doctoral student you are offered an individual research project, a well-educated supervisor, a vast range of elective courses and the opportunity to work in a leading research group. You will be employed on a doctoral studentship which means that you receive a contractual salary.
