More information about the Department of Medical Sciences can be found at https://www.uu.se/en/department/medical-sciences Project description: The Unit for Clinical Diabetology and Metabolism conducts clinical as well as experimental research projects focused on type 2 diabetes and obesity. We have well-established interdisciplinary collaborations locally and nationally/internationally (for example an SSF center and an EU Horizon program). Type 2 diabetes is a growing public health problem worldwide. The disease is characterized by impaired insulin production combined with insulin resistance. Obesity plays an important role in the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. In addition to storing energy, adipose tissue functions as an endocrine organ and communicates with other organs, of which the brain is of particular importance. The overall purpose of this project is to identify novel mechanisms in the interplay between the brain and peripheral tissues, particularly adipose tissue and the gastrointestinal tract, that may contribute to insulin resistance, obesity and type-2 diabetes. We use different methods: Imaging of the brain and other organs in humans in vivo, during hormonal/metabolic tests Investigations of dynamic regulation of different hormonal systems in the development of type 2 diabetes Experimental studies of metabolism and other functions in human adipose tissue. These include cellular signaling, pharmacology and omics methods. We will perform functional analyses of tissue samples, for example regarding morphology, neural activity and neurotransmitters, cell differentiation, glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin signaling and the expression of relevant genes important for type 2 diabetes and obesity. Clinical studies using hormonal challenges are performed on patients and healthy individuals, often with simultaneous imaging of activity in the brain and other organs using PET and MRI techniques. These studies are expected to lead to new methods for the prevention and treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Duties The main task of a PhD student is to engage in research projects and postgraduate courses (30 credits). You will collect, analyze, compile and present results from blood and tissue samples and clinical examinations. Participation in experimental laboratory work and in clinical assessments of metabolism and hormones. The tasks may also include teaching and some departmental work, however, up to a maximum of 20% of the working time Requirements: To meet the entry requirements for doctoral studies, you must: hold a Master’s (second-cycle) degree in medical sciences, biomedicine or similar have completed at least 240 credits in higher education, with at least 60 credits at Master’s level including an independent project worth at least 15 credits, or have acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way. Applicants must also have: good ability to collaborate but also work independently good analytical skills, personal drive and flexibility excellent English skills, both spoken and written Additional qualifications Experience in cell biology methods and imaging methods in vitro and/or in vivo. In-depth studies in metabolic/endocrine diseases. Experience in experimental/translational research in energy metabolism, in particular hormonal regulation at the cell/tissue level. We put much emphasis on personal qualities such as accuracy and responsibility as well as good communication and organizing skills.

The University has around 46 000 students and 8 500 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition. Description of the workplace The research group, led by Senior Lecturer Charlotte Rolny, conducts experimental and translational research on brain tumors and tumor dissemination. The group is part of Lund University Cancer Centre at Medicon Village and belongs to the Unit of Translational Cancer Research at the Department of Laboratory Medicine. Find out more here: Immuno-Oncology Group. The research group studies how the tumor microenvironment influences cancer progression and metastatic dissemination, with a particular focus on tumor-associated macrophages, TAMs, and their interactions with cancer cells and tumor blood vessels. Previous studies from the group have shown that TAMs located in close proximity to tumor blood vessels, so-called perivascular TAMs, can promote vascular abnormalities and facilitate the spread of cancer cells from the primary tumor to secondary tumors. We are now seeking a highly motivated doctoral student with an interest in tumor biology, tumor immunology, and metastasis. The doctoral project will focus on studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate how cancer cells disseminate from primary tumors to secondary tumors. Particular emphasis will be placed on how tumor-associated macrophages and signaling pathways in the tumor microenvironment influence the invasive properties of cancer cells, their interactions with blood vessels, and their ability to establish metastases. The project includes advanced molecular and cell biological methods, experimental tumor models, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, and advanced image analysis. The project has a strong translational focus, in which experimental findings will be validated in clinically relevant patient material. We offer Lund University is a public authority which means that employees get particular benefits, generous annual leave and an advantageous occupational pension scheme. Read more on the University website about being a Lund University employee: Work at Lund University. Work duties and areas of responsibility The doctoral project aims to increase our understanding of how cancer cells spread from primary tumors to secondary tumors, and how this process is influenced by the tumor microenvironment. The project will specifically investigate how tumor-associated macrophages, blood vessels, and recently identified signaling pathways contribute to cancer cell migration, invasion, intravasation, survival in the circulation, and establishment in new tissues. The aims of the project are to: identify cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive the dissemination of cancer cells from primary tumors to secondary tumors, investigate how tumor-associated macrophages influence the invasive and metastatic properties of cancer cells, study how the interplay between cancer cells, immune cells, and blood vessels contributes to metastatic dissemination, identify new therapeutic targets that can inhibit the dissemination and establishment of secondary tumors, map tumor microenvironment signatures associated with survival, treatment response, and relapse, validate experimental findings in patient material to ensure clinical and translational relevance.
