Do you want to contribute to improving human health? Come and join us at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm. In the research group led by Laura Baranello, we are particularly interested in the molecular mechanisms defining the crosstalk between transcription, DNA topology and chromatin folding, with the aim to design improved strategies for anti-cancer treatment. Division The Baranello Lab –Drawing from our expertise in the fields of topoisomerase and cancer biology, we aim to answer fundamental questions about how transcription, replication and DNA topology are functionally coordinated in human cells. We use state-of-the-art approaches to assess transcriptomic, epigenomic and replisomic profiles, as well as molecular biology, advanced microscopy and drug screens to understand how topoisomerase regulation affects fundamental nuclear processes (key lab references: Baranelloet al.Cell 2016; Wiegardet al.Molecular Cell 2021; Daset al.Molecular Cell 2022; Cameronet al.Science Advances 2023). The overall aim is to reveal novel cancer therapy targets and improved strategies for personalized treatment. Recently we have identified a protein complex called “topoisome” in which the oncoprotein MYC recruits and increases the catalytic activities of both Topoisomerase 1 and 2 to promote high rates of transcription (Daset al.Molecular Cell 2022). The successful candidate will play a leading role in a full-time research project funded by the European Research Council, focused to address the functional role of the topoisome during transcription. Specifically we want to study the coordination of the topoisome and the transcriptional machinery. The outcome of this work is predicted to inspire a new strategy to target MYC in cancer, which will be tested in MYC-driven cancer models. This multidisciplinary project involves master biochemistry, master molecular biology, proteomics/genomics, and computational analysis. The postdoc will plan and execute experiments, analyze data, interpret, and present the results, supervise students as well as write scientific articles, initially under partial supervision but with greater independence going forward.

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research? To be a doctoral student means to devote oneself to a research project under supervision of experienced researchers and following an individual study plan. For a doctoral degree, the equivalent of four years of full-time doctoral education is required. The research group The adipocyte expresses over 4000 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA), many uniquely expressed in fat cells. However, how these polymeric molecules function in concert with the metabolic machinery of the cell is not well understood. In our laboratory, we investigate how lncRNAs adapt the adipocyte for specialised function, specifically in the context of lipid droplet metabolism. Our investigation focuses on lncRNAs that may underline compromised metabolic flexibility and contribute to cardiometabolic disease pathogenesis. We integrate findings from well-characterized human white adipose tissue (WAT) biopsies and large population genetics to identify lncRNAs implicated in lipid metabolism and cardiometabolic disease. The disease-associated lncRNAs are investigated in human adipocyte cell models and using CRISPRi/a gene perturbation coupled to lipidomic/metabolomics, we aim to understand the effect of the lncRNA expression on adipocyte metabolism. In addition, we use gene variant editing in human adipocytes to understand how single nucleotide polymorphisms located in lncRNA gene loci lead to alterations in lipid droplet metabolism. Long noncoding RNA in the adipocyte – Alastair Kerr Research Group The doctoral student project and the duties of the doctoral student This doctoral project will investigate the role of hundreds of lncRNA simultaneously to determine which lncRNA impact adipocyte function and in turn uncover a novel way to target these metabolically important cells. To expand how many lncRNA can be functionally examined at a time, the student will develop state-of-the-art genetically modified human adipocyte cell systems that allow the precise temporal perturbation of selected lncRNA. Combining advanced imaging and transcriptomic readouts, we aim to systematically examine all adipocyte lncRNAs associated with obesity. The student will progress lncRNAs found to impact the function of the adipocyte into detailed molecular studies, where they will use imaging and in-house developed pulldown methodology to uncover how these lncRNAs function at a molecular resolution. There will be an emphasis on characterizing the structure of these lncRNAs to define the functional aptamers necessary to regulate the defined adipocyte function. The doctoral student will be trained in computational and molecular biology analyses to identify candidate lncRNAs and develop an investigational pipeline to understand how they function. The student will be involved in learning from current lab members and teaching future lab members that will be hired. What do we offer?

Full time, fixed term until November 2028     Exciting secondment opportunity to work as a Postdoctoral Research Associate within the School of Medical Sciences in Tumour Microenvironment Base Salary starting at $113,400 + 17% superannuation  About the opportunity The School of Medical Sciences is recognised as one of the leading centres for medical science education in the world. With over 100 years of excellence in education, we are proud to be training the next generation of medical scientists who will be leading members of the medical research community with an innovative integrated curriculum. Our team of researchers lead key internationally competitive research from molecules to medicines, from patient to policy across a range of therapeutic areas. Prostate cancer shows significant clinical and genomic disparity, with men of African ancestry adversely impacted. Having access to globally unique resources, the Hayes Lab is interested in uncovering the genomic and environmental drivers for this health disparity. Using largely bulk multi-omic approaches, the team has been identifying African-specific molecular subtypes, which have been further linked to patient-matched environmental exposures. Here the team has been funded to interrogate for the role of toxic heavy metals, with their known endocrine disruptive potential. While revealing new insights, the next phase of this research is to undercover which cells within the prostate tissue are most susceptible to toxic heavy metals, their impact on cancer growth and associated aggressive disease and health disparities. Ultimately, the successful candidate will aim to determine the role of heavy metals in the initiation and evolution of prostate cancer through fostering recent advances in single-cell proteomic technologies, including a most recent Australian Prostate Cancer Foundation (ACRF) Single Cell Proteomic Laboratory. The successful candidate should have a PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, cancer genomics or a related field with essential PhD experience in single-cell research and data analytics, ideally in proteomics or transcriptomics. The candidate should have evidence for high-impact publications, experience working with HPC environments, fluent in R, while ideally have demonstrated experience in cancer or evolutionary genomics. Your key responsibilities will be to: conduct research, scholarly or professional activity independently or as part of a team, contributing to discipline knowledge develop and refine independent research skills under the supervision of more senior academic staff provide informal and formal mentoring and advice to students within the discipline carry out administrative tasks and contribute to faculty and school meetings contribute to a positive workplace culture that values diversity of thought, collaboration, excellence and achieving outcomes understand and contribute to furthering the university and faculty or school strategic agenda undertake other duties and contribute to projects appropriate within the classification level as required. About you PhD in a relevant field is preferred demonstrated understanding of the subject matter within the discipline experience conducting original research and or engaging in scholarly activity a developing research profile in their discipline or area of expertise, through evidence of high-impact publication a developing network of academic, industry and professional partners and stakeholders strong research capability, planning and organisational skills demonstrated ability to communicate effectively and deliver presentations strong computer literacy.

Prostate cancer shows significant clinical and genomic disparity, with men of African ancestry adversely impacted. Having access to globally unique resources, the Hayes Lab is interested in uncovering the genomic drivers for this health disparity, including inherited risk and associated population substructure. With a focus in sub-Saharan Africa and under-represented populations across the globe, it is critical that the team provides a foundational reference and population evolutionary history on which to distinguish ancestral from somatic evolutionary trajectories. Ultimately, the successful candidate will lead studies defining population histories and relevant morphological, physiological and measurable traits associated adaptations, compare this variance to epigenetic and transcriptomic phenotypes, as well as cancer risk, direct clinical relevance and tumour-associated omic features, with the ultimate goal of defining the underlining ancestral contribution. The successful candidate should have a PhD in Population genomics and statistical applications, with a strong expertise in human (or cancer) evolutionary studies and computational genomics/genetics. The candidate should have evidence for high-impact publications, experience working within HPC environments, fluent in R, while ideally have demonstrated experience in cancer or evolutionary genomics.
