The lab and technologies
The Jakobsson lab investigates processes of blood vessel morphogenesis and function in development and disease, with the aim to develop new therapies. The lab utilizes mouse models of human disease based on inducible genetic loss- and gain- of-function in combination with state-of-the-art confocal live imaging (multi-photon, in vivo and ex vivo). In addition the environment provides access to drug screening platforms, proteomics and single cell RNA sequencing. The lab has an extensive international scientific network and is integrated in a highly interactive scientific environment with close contact with the clinic. Recent publications from the lab:
Jin et al, Nat. Cell Biol., 2017; Wang et al, Development, 2017; Wang et al, Sci. Rep., 2018
The project
The lab aims to find novel ways of modulating angiogenesis and vessel function. The studies build on the lab’s previous findings on endothelial cell- signaling, behavior and gene expression in vascular patterning and malformation in the CNS. The project will focus on mechanisms of establishment of arteries and veins and maintenance of vessel function in relation to human disease. Data acquisition is facilitated by novel mouse models in combination with abovementioned technologies, including single cell RNA seq.

The Department and location
The Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at Karolinska Institutet conducts a broad spectrum of biomedical research and education at the absolute forefront. Presently our department consists of 12 research divisions with a total of approximately 450 employees. The postdoc will work in Dr. Lars Jakobsson’s group at the Division of Vascular Biology, located in a vibrant environment in a brand new research center, Biomedicum, in central Stockholm. Please see Biomedicum Stockholm
