CDM offers a dynamic, international and competitive research environment. The main research topics of the unit include lysosomal function and stability, autophagy, and lipid metabolism with focus on cancer-associated aberrations of the above processes and their exploitation for better understanding of cancer biology and translational applications.
Qualification
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD for a project studying the lysosomal function in cancer invasion based on Rafn et al. Mol. Cell, 2012. The successful candidate should have experience, in addition to basic biochemistry and molecular biology techniques, in one or more of the following techniques/ assays/ models

-Immunocytochemistry (e.g. confocal microscopy)

We offer a high degree of scientific interaction and broad expertise in an internationally recognized research laboratory, fully equipped laboratory space, access to state-of-the art equipment and supportive environment.
Working place
The DCRC is located in a recently renovated and modern campus. The laboratories are equipped with the state-of-the-art technology, IT and bioinformatic services, and close links with other 5 Units working in the Centre. We are conveniently located close to Copenhagen City and well connected with relevant academic institutions, biotech companies and research hospitals in the Copenhagen area. The DCRC has a very international environment and the everyday working language is English. The working place is off course smoke-free.
