Principal Research Scientist in Brain Cancer Research

1 month ago


Bergen, Vestland, Norway University of Bergen Full time
About the Department/project/work tasks:

Our research group is working on mechanisms of invasion and therapy resistance in human glioblastoma, the most frequent and most malignant primary brain tumour.

We utilise cell culture and animal models to investigate the formation of microtubes, which are crucial communication structures connecting tumour cells as well as tumour and stromal cells.

A special focus of the project are new mechanisms of microtube/nanotube formation and the possibility of mitochondrial transfer between tumour cells as well as tumour and stromal cells through microtubes.

Work tasks:
  • Design, plan and perform in vitro and in vivo experiments for the project
  • Participation in writing of publications and research grants
  • Participation in supervision of PhD and masters students
