Job description
Dr. Ansems leads a research group that is focused on discovering and understanding molecular and cellular interactions in the tumor microenvironment and translation of these findings into cancer treatment. In many solid cancers, cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a dominant but understudied component of the tumor microenvironment, while they are known to greatly affect tumor growth, the anti-tumor immune response and radiotherapy response. You will use a combination of organoid models, preclinical models and human primary tumor tissue to shed light on the role of CAFs in the tumor microenvironment and therapy response. Will you join our research group?
Tasks and responsibilities
In addition you possess the profile below:
- Plan, perform, analyze, and discuss experiments; set up new protocols and assays.
- Attend work meetings as well as activities of the PhD program.
- Possible supervision of bachelor/master students (from year 2 or 3 on).
- Take responsibility for your own project and lead it to a successful PhD thesis.

Employer
Radboudumc
At the Radiotherapy and oncolmmunology lab (department of Radiation Oncology ) approximately 25 researchers aim at better understanding cellular interactions in the tumor microenvironment using imaging, molecular-, cell biological- and immunological- techniques in relation to cancer therapies, especially radiotherapy. The interplay between tumor cells, fibroblasts and immune cells is studied within the tumor microenvironment (TME) and modulation of the TME on the efficacy of treatment. An important activity of the department is the translation of basic research into clinical application.
