About the research project Prostate cancer is high-incidence male cancer which progresses to incurable metastatic disease in approximately 20-30% of diagnosed cases. The dual translational challenge posed by this cancer are therefore to limit overtreatment and to improve outcomes through the early detection of disease that has a propensity to progress. There is good evidence that androgen signalling, ageing and the tissue microenvironment contribute to metabolic reprogramming in the early stages of prostate cancer and that this leads to an oxidative switch enhancing the turnover of lipids. The primary goal of this research project is to provide a more complete spatial and mechanistic understanding of how this metabolic change predisposes prostate cancer metastatic progression and the secondary goal is to understand how this change can be affected by the use of molecularly targeted metabolic, epigenetic and hormonal interventions. Achieving these goals requires a multi-disciplinary approach utilising well-annotated clinical sample collections and pre-clinical models that more comprehensively capture the cellular and molecular heterogeneity of this multi-focal cancer. Your job responsibilities As Postdoc in prostate cancer biology your position is primarily research-based but may also involve teaching assignments. You will contribute to the development of the department through research of high international quality. In your daily work, you will work closely with colleagues on your project, where you will receive supervision and guidance. Your main tasks will consist of: Independent research of high international quality, including publication. Establishing pre-clinical models of prostate cancer including in vivo (in conjunction with the Thomsen group), cell-line co-culture and organoid models. Sectioning tissue samples obtained from in vivo cancer models (in conjunction with the Thomsen group and Histocore) and establishing explant/tissue slice cultures. Engineering cell lines and in vivo models using CRISPR and related genome editing approaches to disrupt biological processes that support prostate cancer progression with a focus on metabolism, hormonal and stress response signaling. Preparing samples for downstream sequencing and imaging. Performing MALDI mass spectrometry and spatial transcriptomics to characterize biological niches within mouse and human tissue samples. Performing quantitative imaging (confocal, electron microscopy and spatial omics) on samples. Using Seahorse and related assays to assess the impact of genome editing and drug treatment on the metabolic activity of pre-clinical models. Analysing sequencing and imaging data generated from pre-clinical experiments but also from tissue samples and publicly available datasets. Collaborating with the Bioinformatics Core Facility, CellX and Associate Professor Martin Thomsen’s group on data analysis and model development.
