6. Fully Funded PhD Position in chronic pain resaarch
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD student joining the team will investigate pain mechanisms in fibromyalgia, with a specific focus on the muscle pathophysiology associated with fibromyalgia-related pain. The project aims to explore whether immune cells and antibodies contribute to muscle pain and, if so, to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. This research will involve analyzing human samples, employing advanced imaging techniques, and utilizing in vivo models alongside a range of cellular and molecular methods. You will collaborate closely with preclinical and clinical researchers, as well as biostatisticians, to enhance our understanding of pain from a translational perspective.
Application Deadline: 20.Feb.2025
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in experimental oncology with a focus on colorectal cancer
Summary of PhD Program:
The Williams’ group focuses on understanding key molecular mechanisms in cancer, combining large-scale omics with focused mechanistic experiments. Our goal is to understand how sex and estrogen signaling impact different cancers and and their treatments so that we can suggest tailored cancer treatments, biomarkers, and preventive approaches. We have a keen interest and strong expertise in exploring transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms of gene expression in the context of cancer and related inflammatory diseases.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Novel clinical biomarkers for Alzheimer’s and other degenerative disorders
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD position is for lab (experimental) based research and the student will be working under the supervision of Dr. Amit Kumar in the research group of Associate Professor Taher Darreh-Shori. The research group has a multidisciplinary approach ranging from basic to translational aspects using a diverse battery of methodologies. We aim to explore the complex pathophysiological features of neurodegenerative diseases, with a strong focus on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) but also other neurodegenerative disorders to gain a deeper understanding of disease pathogenesis/trajectory and to develop novel diagnostic markers and drug targets for early intervention in disease pathophysiology.
Application Deadline: 19.Feb.2025
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in studies of pulmonary hemodynamics with magnetic resonance imaging
Summary of PhD Program:
The doctoral project concerns the development of new diagnostic methods to characterize disorders of the pulmonary circulation, primarily pulmonary arterial hypertension. The results are also expected to be important for the diagnosis of heart failure with preserved systolic function. The project will involve patient recruitment, image acquisition and further development of methods for image analysis of MR images collected during simultaneous catheterization of the right ventricle of the heart and the pulmonary arteries. As a doctoral student, you will be involved in clinically motivated investigations with interventional MR where the heart is examined during simultaneous catheterization.
