Offer Description
Embark on a groundbreaking PhD project that aims to advance our understanding of oncohematological diseases, particularly multiple myeloma and its associated IgG light chain variants. This research is crucial for unraveling the mechanisms behind the tissue-specific toxicity of these pathological forms. You will utilize a blend of cellular biology, bioengineering, and biotechnology techniques in developing these platforms, enabling a detailed analysis of variant-specific toxic effects. This research holds the potential to significantly enhance our understanding of the tissue-specific toxicity of IgG light chain variants in multiple myeloma, opening pathways to more effective treatments. As a PhD candidate, you will be at the forefront of this innovative research, collaborating with esteemed international researchers, including Dr. Magdaléna Harakalová from the Circulatory Health Research Centre in Utrecht, Netherlands. This partnership offers a rich environment for scientific growth and international networking.
Project goals:
1) Develop innovative cellular platforms to assess the toxicity of various pathological IgG light chain variants found in different patients.
2) Design of an analytical chip for various cellular platforms.
