Division of Biomaterials
The research group of Ana Teixeira (https://ki.se/en/mbb/ana-teixeira-group) part of the Division of Biomaterials (https://ki.se/en/mbb/research-division-of-biomaterials) at The Department for Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics (https://ki.se/en/mbb/startpage). We are located at the newly built Biomedicum research laboratory (https://ki.se/en/staff/biomedicum) at the Solna campus of Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. We use a multi-disciplinary approach integrating biophysics, DNA nanotechnology and cell biology to understand how the roles of spatial organization in biological systems.
Duties
We are looking for an outstanding postdoctoral fellow to investigate the effects of the spatial distribution and lateral mobility of membrane proteins on downstream signaling. The project will make use of DNA nanotechnology approaches to study cellular signalling and functional outcomes using a combination of in vitro and animal models with applications in cancer and immunology.
