Research assistant in bioinformatics applied to single cell and spatial multiomics

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

The Department of Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB) is a department with a strong focus on basic science. CMB conducts research and education in cell biology, molecular biology, developmental biology, stem cell biology, cancer and infection biology. CMB is located in Biomedicum, a interdisciplinary research center designed to concentrate much of the experimental research conducted at Karolinska Institutet Campus Solna under one roof to promote collaboration. Biomedicum houses approximately 1,200 researchers and other personnel and allows expensive equipment to be shared and utilized more effectively. The Llorens laboratory offers a vibrant, stimulating and international environment. Our lab uses single cell and spatial genomics technologies to understand injury and repair mechanisms in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS).
