Postdoctoral Fellow positions - inter-organ communication and cancer - two positions (ref 225688) (# of pos: 2)

We are looking for two collaborative and self-motivated Postdoctoral Associates to work in the laboratories of Dr. Gareth Sullivan and Dr. Tor Erik Rusten at Oslo University Hospital and University of Oslo, Norway. The Sullivan lab exploits induced pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids to dissect disease and understand tissue development. The Rusten lab studies mechanisms of tumor-host interactions and cancer cachexia using both Drosophila and human cell culture models.

The successful candidates will be part of an exciting international collaborative and interdisciplinary convergence project “Modeling Human Multi-Organ Interaction in Disease - Cancer Cachexia (MORGI)”, involving the labs of Dr. Yoshiaki Tanaka (bioinformatics, Montreal, Canada), Dr. Anne Kjersti Befring (law, Oslo), Dr. Teresa Zimmers (cancer cachexia, Uni. of Indiana, USA), Dr. Nikolaj Gadegaard (organ on chip, Uni of Glasgow, Scotland). Dr. Anne Hope Jahren (metabolomics), Dr. Anders Strand (ethics), Dr. Tuula Nyman (proteomics) and Dr. Åslaug Helland (cancer clinic) in Oslo.

Cancer Cachexia is a multi-organ disorder that leads to metabolic reprogramming, systemic inflammation, and organ degeneration, resulting in reduced quality of life, prevention of cancer treatment and death.
