Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?
The Department of Dental Medicine at Campus Flemingsberg focuses on the education of dentists and dental hygienists. In addition, we perform research, dental specialization training and provide patient care. Karolinska Institutet and the rest of Scandinavia have been world leaders in dentistry for decades.
The Department of Dental Medicine works with research and education within dental medicine and medicine with clinical training sites for future dental surgeons. We offer a top international learning and research environment for researchers, students, technical and administrative personnel. In KI´s new ANA Futura laboratory we are creating a leading translational integrated research environment equipped for cutting-edge research, where the boundaries between departments and clinics are torn down and researchers collaborate on the basis of common research profiles.

The group is active in developing translational studies to support cancer patient diagnostic and cancer prevention strategies (J Hepatol. 2019, JCI Insight 2021, Leukemia 2021, EBioMedicine 2021). The candidate will learn the research models and participate in collaborative studies with possibility to study new diagnostic/therapeutic biomarkers. The work will be conducted in an innovative and friendly environment with focus on diagnostics and precision health.
Your profile
This scholarship position is suitable for highly motivated researchers who are strong in molecular biology as well as microbiological methods. Good laboratory knowledge in culture of bacteria and human cells, and PCR related analysis is a must. Some of tasks include processing and biobanking of human samples, RNA/DNA isolation for microbiome and metabolomics analysis. The studies require good organisational and analytical skills. Interest in assay standardisation and biostatistics is a plus.
