Do you want to contribute to improving human health?

Your mission

You will contribute to a deeper understanding of glioblastoma progression and invasiveness by investigating how different signaling pathways and cellular mechanisms interact to promote tumor dissemination. In addition, you will evaluate a novel and promising therapeutic agent with the potential to inhibit these processes, which may ultimately lead to more effective treatment strategies for patients with glioblastoma.

Your profile

You are an ambitious and creative student with a background in neuroscience and glioblastoma research, and you have solid expertise in post-transcriptional regulation. You are accustomed to working independently and thrive in international research environments. In addition, you have hands-on experience with in vivo models, including planning and conducting animal experiments related to glioblastoma, which will be essential for evaluating disease progression and therapeutic responses. Your contributions will help unravel key mechanisms underlying glioblastoma progression and invasiveness, and support the preclinical evaluation of a novel and promising therapeutic agent that could lead to improved treatment strategies for patients with this devastating disease.
