The laboratory are interested in understanding the cross-talk between tumors cells and the tumor microenvironment and how that initiates and drives tumor development. The lab uses transgenic models, patient material, cellular reprogramming, stem cells, and organoids to model solid tumors, and array of cellular, molecular, biochemical, and genomic analytical techniques to understand molecular mechanisms regulating tumor development.
Scholarships for postdoctoral qualification can be established for foreign researchers who place their qualifications in Sweden. The purpose of scholarships for postdoctoral qualification is to promote internationalization and contribute to research qualification after a doctorate or equivalent.
A scholarship for carrying out postdoctoral research can be granted for a maximum of two years within a four year period following the receipt of a doctoral degree or equivalent.
To be eligible for a postdoctoral scholarship, the person must have obtained a doctorate or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctorate. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) start date of the post doctoral education.
The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications correspond to a Swedish doctorate or higher.
