PhD in Oral Cancer Biology

Applications are invited for a 100% full-time, 3-year PhD Research Fellowship position based at the Oral Physiology and Cancer Research Group (OPCG) at the Institute of Oral Biology, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo (UiO), Norway./nProject title: “Tumor-host interaction in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)”/nThe current project aims to understand the influence of invading oral cancer cells on skeletal muscle. Molecular profile of the infiltrated skeletal muscle cells together with the functional roles and prognostic significance of selected miRNA/proteins will be investigated. The current project will employ high throughput analyses methods such as transcriptomic and proteomic profiling. In addition, 2D and 3D cell culture models will be used./nPlace of service: Institutt for oral biologi Postboks 1052, Blindern , 0316 Oslo/nCity: Oslo
