Offer Description

The Schink lab is looking for a highly motivated PhD student to work on the molecular mechanisms of membrane organisation and the role of dysregulated membrane trafficking for cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

Our research focusses on membrane trafficking, where we study the molecular mechanisms of how vesicles are formed and how they get their correct identity. Moreover, we are interested in how dysregulation of membrane transport processes contributes to diseases such as cancer and infectious diseases. A key focus of our studies is the role of macropinocytosis as a nutrient scavenging route in cancer cells. In addition, we are studying how membrane trafficking contributes to cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

In this project, we will investigate how cells can establish and control the identity of their endomembranes, and how changes in these membrane transport processes can allow cancer cell invasion and metastasis.
