A hallmark of PDAC is its abundant and complex tumor stroma which not only supports tumor progression but also forms a major barrier to effective treatment. Conventional therapies including chemotherapy and even the most advanced immunotherapies have shown limited clinical benefit for many patients.
This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to impactful research that may ultimately improve outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer.
As a PhD candidate you will:
- Design and conduct experimental studies on stromal biology in PDAC.
- Develop and test peptide- and nano-based targeted therapeutic strategies.
- Work with in vitro and in vivo PDAC models.
- Analyze and interpret experimental data and present findings at meetings and conferences.
- Contribute to scientific publications and your PhD thesis.
- Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary team members including biologists clinicians and pharmaceutical scientists.
Place of work
You will be embedded in a dynamic and international research group at Department of Medical Biosciences Radboud university medical center (Radboudumc) in Nijmegen a leading center for patient care biomedical research and education. The hosting department has strong expertise in cancer biology translational oncology and drug development and provides access to state-of-the-art facilities and core platforms.
You will work in a collaborative environment where basic scientists and clinicians closely interact enabling real translational impact. The team consists of motivated PhD candidates postdocs technicians and clinician-scientists who support each others development and success.
Medical BioSciences is a science department where fundamental and translational biomedical research come together. You will study disease and health from the molecular level to clinical application with a strong focus on medical innovation.
