Stark forskning och attraktiva utbildningar lockar forskare och studenter från hela världen. Med ny kunskap och nya perspektiv bidrar Göteborgs universitet till en bättre framtid.Institutionen för odontologi bedriver utbildning av tandläkare, tandhygienister och tandtekniker på grund- och avancerad nivå. Samtliga utbildningsprogram leder fram till en yrkesexamen såväl som en generell examen. Vid institutionen bedrivs även forskning och forskarutbildning inom odontologisk vetenskap samt efterutbildningsaktiviteter. Institutionen samverkar med Folktandvården Västra Götaland i den kliniska delen av grundutbildningen och i klinisk forskning.

Forskningsverksamheten inom avdelningen för oral mikrobiologi och immunologi innefattar studier av de mikroorganismer som kan återfinnas i munhålan samt dessas interaktioner med immunförsvaret. Ytterligare studeras immunförsvarets funktion vid hälsa och vid olika orala sjukdomstillstånd.

Ämne

Oral mikrobiologi och immunologi

Ämnesbeskrivning

Vi försöker förstå hur neutrofiler och deras serinproteaser kan dämpa destruktiv inflammation och ifall en individs relativa serinproteasaktivitet skulle kunna hjälpa till att förklara varför endast vissa individer verkar vara mottagliga för destruktiv parodontit.

Gingivit, tandköttsinflammation, är ett icke-destruktivt tillstånd medan parodontit, tandlossning, karaktäriseras av permanent inflammatorisk förstörelse av tändernas stödjevävnad. Vilka faktorer som påverkar ifall gingivit hos en person övergår i parodontit är okänt. Bägge tillstånden sätts igång av orala bakterier som lever i tandköttskanten och som lockar till sig stora mängder inflammatoriska vita blodkroppar, neutrofiler. Neutrofilerna är centrala i vårt immunförsvar genom att de äter upp och dödar bakterier men de har även förmågan att på olika sätt reglera mer komplexa immunfunktioner. Vissa sällsynta medfödda defekter i neutrofilfunktion yttrar sig i aggressiva former av parodontit, vilket visar att normal neutrofilfunktion ger ett viktigt skydd mot sjukdomen. Studier av sådana tillstånd kan ge ledtrådar till vilka neutrofilfaktorer som skyddar mot den destruktiva inflammationen. Förvånande nog är en sådan faktor neutrofilers serinproteaser. Serinproteaserna är proteolytiska enzymer som av hävd ansetts förvärra vävnadsskada genom förmågan att bryta sönder kroppsegna protein. Detta motsägs å det bestämdaste av de sällsynta individer som helt saknar serinproteaser – dessa drabbas nämligen av en extremt aggressiv tandlossningssjukdom och blir ofta tandlösa redan som tonåringar! Alltså verkar just serinproteaser istället vara ett verktyg som neutrofiler använder för att dämpa destruktiv inflammation.

Arbetsuppgifter

Postdoktorn kommer att arbeta självständigt men som en del av en större forskargrupp och utföra in vitro-analyser med primära humana immunceller isolerade från blod och vävnader från friska försökspersoner och/eller patienter med varierande grad av parodontal sjukdom. Vanliga laboratoriemetoder inkluderar flödescytometri, fluorescens- och/eller luminescensbaserade plattläsarassays, immunoblotting, fluorescensmikroskopi och ELISA. Beroende på tidigare erfarenhet och intresse kan postdoktorn även delta i bioinformatiska analyser av proteomiska och transkriptomiska data från primära humana granulocyter.

Postdoktorn kommer att ansvara för planering, genomförande och felsökning av experiment samt för analys och tolkning av resultat. Postdoktorn förväntas presentera forskningsdata både muntligt och skriftligt, bidra till manusförfattande samt delta i nationella och internationella samarbeten och möten när det är aktuellt.

Därutöver förväntas postdoktorn bidra till handledning och mentorskap för projekt-, master- och/eller doktorandstudenter vid institutionen.

Behörighet

Behörig att anställas som postdoktor är den som innehar doktorsexamen i relevant ämnesområde. Eftersom anställning som postdoktor utgör en meriteringsanställning för juniora forskare, riktar vi oss till den som har en doktorsexamen som inte är äldre än tre år räknat från sista ansökningsdag.

Bedömningsgrund

Erfarenhet av in vitro-studier med primära humana immunceller är meriterande, och specifik kunskap inom oral immunologi och/eller neutrofilbiologi ses som en fördel.

Erfarenhet av bioinformatiska analyser är önskvärd men inget krav. Klinisk erfarenhet inom odontologi är inte nödvändig, men kan vara värdefull

Anställning

Anställning är tidsbegränsad 2 år med möjlighet till förlängning med maximalt 1 år, med placering vid institutionen för Odontologi, sektion 3. Tillsättning enligt överenskommelse.

Kontaktuppgifter för anställningen

We seek a PhD for a full-time postdoctoral position (24 months, with possibility for extension 12 months) within the research group led by Professor Joakim Larsson, Department of Infectious Diseases, Institute for Biomedicine, Sahlgrenska academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, starting early 2025. The focus of the research group is on antibiotic resistance development, particularly the role of the external environment. The group led by Larsson and Associate Professor Carl-Fredrik Flach consists of 1 professor, 1 associate professor, 6 postdoctors, 3 PhD students, 2 biologists/research assistants as well as master students. (https://www.gu.se/en/biomedicine/about-us/department-of-infectious-diseases/joakim-larsson-group). Larsson also leads the Centre of Antibiotic Resistance Research in Gothenburg (CARe; www.gu.se/en/care) with ca 150 researchers. The group has extensive collaboration with other universities, nationally and internationally. The research is interdisciplinary and has significant funding through e.g. the Swedish Research Councils VR and Formas.

Subject area description 
Most of the resistance genes that cause problems in the clinic today seem to originate from harmless, environmental bacteria. Our group studies the driving forces behind this development, particularly the effects of low levels of antibiotics and antibacterial biocides in wastewaters from hospitals, municipalities and industries (see Larsson’s website). In some sub-projects, we study the evolutionary relationship between resistance genes in environmental bacteria and pathogens, and search for new forms of resistance in different environments using both bioinformatic methods as well different large-scale functional screens. We also study how analyses of resistant bacteria in sewage can inform predictions of the local, clinical resistance situation. A better knowledge about all these processes and drives will be valuable to be assess and respond to threats to our health. We are now looking for a postdoctor who is interested in taking on the task to experimentally explore the environmental dimensions of antibiotic resistance with focus on risks for resistance evolution in hospital sewers.

Duties 
The postdoctor is expected primarily to conduct experimental research. These could for example include exposing bacteria or more complex microbial communities to different selective agents or mixtures/wastewaters, followed by studies of selection and/or other processes. The work can also involve identifying and characterizing novel, mobile resistance genes. Methods that could prove valuable include environmental sampling, culturing of bacteria, resistance phenotyping, functional metagenomics, gene expression studies in bacteria, various methods related to recombinant DNA-technology such as vector construction, cloning and induced constitutive and inducible expression of exogenous proteins in bacteria, gene-knockout, inverse PCR, RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, bioinformatic analyses of DNA-sequence data generated via different technologies, programming experience in R and Python.. Within the group there is already competence within e.g. bioinformatics, microbiology, molecular biology, environmental sciences and statistics, and we collaborate closely with clinicians, analytical chemists as well as with scientists outside the natural science domain. The work is expected to be conducted in collaboration; hence complementary expertise is valuable. The work also includes authoring/co-authoring scientific publications and presenting research at international scientific conferences. 

Eligibility 
The eligibility criteria for employing teaching staff are set out in Chapter 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance and in the Appointment Procedure for Teaching Posts at the University of Gothenburg. 

Assessment criteria 
PhD in relevant area, as well as excellent scientific production in relation to the time passed since completing PhD are required. A high degree of independence including extensive experience of practical molecular and microbiological analyses with the techniques indicated, experience from relevant research on antibiotic resistance, previous international postdoc experience, excellent communicative skills particularly regarding verbal and written scientific English, a developed way of critical thinking, experience from working at different labs and an ability to work successfully in a group are all additional qualifying criteria.

Employment 
The employment is full time and temporary, two years with the possibility of one year's extension, with placement at the Institute of Biomedicine. First day of employment as agreed.

Master Thesis Project: In vitro-system to study the long-term effect of skin care products in the dynamics of bacteria communities in the skin.

Bakgrund
Huden är koloniserad med miljontals bakterier, svampar och virus som skapar hudens mikrobiota, som kan fungera som en ytterligare barriär mot sjukdomsframkallande mikroorganismer. Denna väsentliga barriär kan rubbas genom miljöpåverkan, såsom användning av hudprodukter som innehåller olika kemikalier, antimikrobiella medel eller biocider. Förskjutningen i mikrobiotan kan å ena sidan leda till obalans i mikrobiotan och å andra sidan också påverka utvecklingen och urvalet av antimikrobiell resistens.

Projekt
I projektet vi ska studera förändringar i mikrobiotans sammansättning och utveckling av antibiotikaresistens efter långvarig exponering av hudvårdsprodukter som innehåller antibiotika eller biocider med hjälp av ett in vitro modellsystem som efterliknar mänskliga hudens mikrobiota. Examensarbetet kommer att innehålla experimentellt arbete med traditionella mikrobiologiska metoder, DNA-extraktion, qPCR och sekvensanalys.

Studentprofil
Vi söker en student med bakgrund i mikrobiologi eller molekylärbiologi och med erfarenhet av labbarbete.

Villkor

- Scope: 30 eller 60 hp


- Var: Det laborativa arbetet kommer att utföras på RISE i våra lokaler i Göteborg (Frans Perssons väg 6).


- När: Kan starta efter överenskommelse, dock senast i oktober 2023

Subject area 
Goblet cell biology

Subject area description 
Our mucosal surfaces are the interface between the environment and our tissues. Their physiological functions are critical, but necessitate constant exposure of living cells to a vast collection of microbial lifeforms that includes many opportunistic and obligate pathogens. As a result, our mucosa have evolved multiple defensive systems that allow them to endure in this environment, and failure of these systems is often linked to development of acute and chronic disease. Consequently, understanding the development and regulation of these systems is key to understanding the pathoaetiology of mucosal disease and how they can be prevented or treated.

In the gut, goblet cell (GC)-intrinsic defence systems, such as the mucus layer and sentinel goblet cells normally control host-microbiota interactions. It is evident that GC protective functions are regulated by signals deriving from the intestinal luminal environment; however, the specific nature of those signals remains very poorly defined. G-protein coupled receptors regulate cellular behaviour in response to extrinsic cues, and we have identified specific enrichment of certain GPCRs in intestinal GC populations.

By combining data from in vitro reporter cells, primary intestinal cell culture and conditional knockout mouse models we hope to define the role(s) of specific GPCRs in regulating GC-intrinsic defensive functions. We believe that such work will lay a foundation for medical interventions that could be used to enhance GC defensive functions in order to prevent the development of mucosal diseases.

Duties 
The successful candidate will be expected to work extensively with cell lines, pre-clinical mouse models and human tissues acquired during routine surgery. The candidate will be encouraged and expected to conduct their experimental research in an independent manner and to make significant contributions to project planning. The candidate will also actively contribute to the local research environment at the Mucin Biology Groups and engage in interactions with collaborators and other groups belonging to the WCMTM network. If necessary, the candidate may also be asked to assist in the supervision of Masters or PhD students. 

Eligibility 
The eligibility criteria for employing teaching staff are set out in Chapter 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance and in the Appointment Procedure for Teaching Posts at the University of Gothenburg. 

To be eligible for appointment as a postdoc, the applicant is required to have a doctoral degree, a doctoral degree in art or a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This eligibility requirement must be met before the employment decision is made. 

Assessment criteria 
Applications will be judged primarily on evidence of relevant scientific skills. The applicant must provide evidence of a PhD in a relevant area of research and have demonstrable skills in both written and spoken English. Previous experience working with in vivo animal models is essential. Any previous experience in GPCR biology, microscopy, mass spectrometry, organoid culture, flow cytometry, microbiology, bioinformatics or in vivo disease modelling will be considered as merits in support of an application. Eligible applicants may be asked to present their previous research if invited to interview. Great emphasis will be placed on the candidate’s personal suitability for the position and clear interest in the subject area.

Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.

Subject area

The environmental dimensions of antibiotic resistance.

Subject area description

Many of the resistance genes that cause problems in the clinic today seem to originate from harmless, environmental bacteria. Our group studies the driving forces behind this development, particularly how low levels of antibiotics and other antibacterial substances may affect processes such as mobilization of resistance genes, mutations, horizontal gene transfer, selection and transmission of resistance between environments.

Job assignments

We seek three postdoctoral fellows whose competence within microbiology, molecular biology and bioinformatics complement each other. A postdoctor with strong microbiology expertise is expected to conduct experimental research addressing environmental selection of antibiotic resistance. The postdoctors with molecular biology and bioinformatics expertise are both expected to primarily address the role of the environment as a genetic source for resistance factors to emerge in pathogen. The research may also involve other aspects regarding the selection, evolution, presence, surveillance and transmission of antibiotic resistance, as part of other ongoing projects within the research group. Methods that could prove valuable include environmental sampling, culturing of bacteria, resistance phenotyping, gene expression studies in bacteria, various methods related to recombinant DNA-technology such as vector construction, cloning and induced constitutive and inducible expression of exogenous proteins in bacteria, gene-knockout, inverse PCR, RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, functional metagenomics, policywork, bioinformatic analyses of DNA-sequence data generated via different technologies, programming in Python, R etc. Each postdoctoral candidate is not expected to have experience with all of the above, but could be more or less experimentally/theoretically oriented. Within the group there is already competence within e.g. bioinformatics, structural chemistry, microbiology, molecular biology and environmental sciences, and we collaborate closely with analytical chemists as well as with scientists outside the natural science domain. The work is expected to be conducted in collaboration, hence complementary expertise is valuable. The work also includes authoring/co-authoring scientific publications and presenting research at international scientific conferences.

Eligibility

An achieved doctoral degree is compulsory for a position as postdoctor at Göteborg University. The doctoral thesis shall be in a relevant area according to the specific position stated here. Since a position as postdoctor aims to give new holders of the doctorate the opportunity mainly to strengthen and develop their scholarly proficiency, we aim for those who have a doctoral degree not older than 3 years counting from last date of application.

Assessment

A PhD in relevant area is required, as well as relevant scientific production of high quality at a volume that is good in relation to the time passed since completing the PhD. Particular attention will be given to previous experience from research closely related to the described work, a high degree of independence including extensive experience of practical molecular, microbiological or bioinformatic analyses with several of the techniques indicated, excellent communicative skills particularly regarding verbal and written scientific English, a developed way of critical thinking, experience from working at different labs in different countries, and an ability to work successfully in a group are all additional qualifying criteria.

Employment

The employment is full time and temporary, two years, with placement at the Institute of Biomedicine. First day of employment 15th of January 2021 or as agreed.

The University of Gothenburg tackles society’s challenges with diverse knowledge. 47 500 students and 6 400 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract scientists and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human health and there is a growing recognition that interventions within the healthcare sector are not enough to curb this development. Instead, a one-health perspective to control antibiotic resistance also outside of the healthcare setting is needed. Unfortunately, we lack comprehensive reference data for resistance in most environments, meaning that there is little knowledge on the range of background abundance and prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes occurring naturally, impeding monitoring efforts.

There is now an open postdoc position in the EMBARK project (http://antimicrobialresistance.eu), which aims to solve these problems hindering monitoring by the integration of several different approaches. The project will establish baseline ranges for background resistance in different environments and standardize different methods for resistance monitoring. The project is an international collaboration between six research groups and the postdoc will have a major role in both local and collaborative activities.

Subject area
Bioinformatics/Microbiology

Subject area description
The postdoc position will deal with the sub-projects of the EMBARK program that will be performed in the Bengtsson-Palme lab (https://microbiology.se) in Gothenburg. Specifically, the postdoc will deal with aspects of establishment of a baseline for background antibiotic resistance in the environment, standardization of monitoring protocols, development of methods to detect emerging resistance threats and prioritization of monitoring targets.

Job assignments
The project will involve work with environmental sampling, DNA extractions, bacterial culturing and generation of large-scale DNA sequence data. In terms of bioinformatic analyses, the project will encompass analysis of next-generation sequence data, genome-resolved metagenomics, short-read assembly and network analysis. In addition to this, the postdoc will be involved in standardization and prioritization together with the rest of the EMBARK consortium, as well as external communication activities with relevant stakeholders.

Eligibility
An achieved doctoral degree is compulsory for a position as postdoctor at Göteborg University. The doctoral thesis shall be in a relevant area according to the specific position stated here. Since a position as postdoctor aims to give new holders of the doctorate the opportunity mainly to strengthen and develop their scholarly proficiency, we aim for those who have a doctoral degree not older than 3 years counting from last date of application.

The qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.

Assessment
A successful candidate will be selected based on: i) documented experience with analysis of large-scale next-generation sequencing data (such as shotgun metagenomics or RNAseq) and particularly short-read assembly methods, ii) familiarity with some common programming language (e.g. Python, Perl or R) as well as Linux/Unix, iii) oral and written communication skills in English, and iv) analytical ability. Experience with laboratory work, such as DNA or RNA extraction and sequencing library preparation is preferable, but not strictly required. Experience of working in collaboration with a large international consortium or research environment is meriting, as is previous work with antimicrobial resistance, environmental monitoring or ecology.

Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.

Employment
The employment is full time and temporary, two years, with placement at the Institute of Biomedicine. First day of employment as agreed.

We announce two full time postdoctoral positions (24 months each) within the research group led by Professor Joakim Larsson, Department of Infectious Diseases, Institute for Biomedicine, Sahlgrenska academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The focus of the research group is on antibiotic resistance development, particularly the role of the external environment. The group consists of 1 professor, 2 associate professors, 5 postdoctoral fellows, 3 PhD students, 1 technician, as well as master students. (http://biomedicine.gu.se/ominst/avd/infektion/forskare/joakim_larsson). Larsson also leads the Centre of Antibiotic Resistance Research at University of Gothenburg (CARe; www.care.gu.se) with over 100 researchers. The group has extensive collaboration with other universities, nationally and internationally. The research is interdisciplinary and has significant funding through e.g. the Swedish Research Councils VR and Formas. 

Subject area description
Many of the resistance genes that cause problems in the clinic today seem to originate from harmless, environmental bacteria. Our group studies the driving forces behind this development, particularly how low levels of antibiotics and other antibacterial substances may affects processes such as mobilization of resistance genes, mutations, horizontal gene transfer, selection and transmission of resistance between environments. In some sub-projects, we study the evolutionary relationship between resistance genes in environmental bacteria and pathogens, and search for new forms of resistance in different environments using both bioinformatic methods as well different large-scale functional screens. We also study how analyses of resistant bacteria in sewage can inform predictions of the local, clinical resistance situation. A better knowledge about all these processes and drives will be valuable to be assess and respond to threats to our health. We are now looking for two postdoc who is interested in taking on the task to experimentally explore the environmental dimensions of antibiotic resistance, with focus on the role of selective agents in the environment.

Job assignments
The postdoctoral fellow is expected to conduct experimental research, addressing one or several of the research areas mentioned above. This could for example include exposing bacteria or more complex microbial communities to different selective agents or mixtures, followed by studies of selection and/or other processes. The work can also involve identifying novel, mobile resistance genes in different environments. Besides identifying and expressing such genes, the work may involve investigating their evolution, function, mobility and presence in different species and environments. The research may also involve other aspects regarding the selection, evolution, presence and transmission of antibiotic resistance, as part of other ongoing projects within the research group. Methods that could prove valuable include environmental sampling, culturing of bacteria, resistance phenotyping, functional metagenomics, gene expression studies in bacteria, various methods related to recombinant DNA-technology such as vector construction, cloning and induced constitutive and inducible expression of exogenous proteins in bacteria, gene-knockout, inverse PCR, RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, epic-PCR, bioinformatic analyses of DNA-sequence data generated via different technologies, etc. Within the group there is already competence within e.g. bioinformatics, structural chemistry, microbiology, molecular biology and environmental sciences, and we collaborate closely with analytical chemists as well as with scientists outside the natural science domain. The work is expected to be conducted in collaboration, hence complementary expertise is valuable. The work also includes authoring/co-authoring scientific publications and presenting research at international scientific conferences.

Eligibility
An achieved doctoral degree is compulsory for a position as postdoctor at Göteborg University. The doctoral thesis shall be in a relevant area according to the specific position stated here. Since a position as postdoctor aims to give new holders of the doctorate the opportunity mainly to strengthen and develop their scholarly proficiency, we aim for those who have a doctoral degree not older than 3 years counting from last date of application.

Assessment
PhD in relevant area, as well as excellent scientific production in relation to the time passed since completing PhD are required. A high degree of independence including extensive experience of practical molecular and microbiological analyses with the techniques indicated, experience from relevant research on antibiotic resistance, previous international postdoc experience, excellent communicative skills particularly regarding verbal and written scientific English, a developed way of critical thinking, experience from working at different labs and an ability to work successfully in a group are all additional qualifying criteria.

Project description
This PhD project will study biocide mixtures, which combine high efficacy at target sites with low environmental impacts. Combining biocidal synergy with smart and controlled release systems might considerably reduce biocide emissions and, consequently, the environmental impact of antimicrobial products.

The aim of the project is to provide a proof-of-concept and make use of synergistic effects to formulate sustainable state-of-the-art fiber-based materials for a range of applications, e.g. for antibacterial materials used in hospitals and similar applications. Biocides will be embedded in microcapsules from which their release is controlled at the lowest possible rate over a prolonged time. If successful, the conceptual idea can also be applied in a range of other biocidal materials, e.g. for disinfection and antifouling purposes.

The PhD position is placed in the interdisciplinary project SynCap – “Smart, benign and synergistic antifouling cocktails for achieving a non-toxic environment: formulation and ecotoxicological evaluation”. SynCap is funded by FORMAS, which is the Swedish research council for sustainable development and will directly contribute to the non-toxic environment by developing a sustainable and implementable antifouling/antimicrobial technology.
The project is implemented in close co-operation with research groups at RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden AB) and Chalmers University of Technology. The project is also linked to the FRAM center for future chemical risk assessment and management.

Job assignments
The main task is to conduct the PhD thesis work under supervision, which includes development of the PhD student’s methodology experience, analytical skills, and theoretical depth and breadth.

The PhD student shall, in close collaboration with supervisors and other project members, first develop the conceptual idea of the project into specific, testable hypotheses. These will then be investigated experimentally by systematic high-throughput screening of promising biocide combinations in microbial test systems, which will, at a later stage, be completed by ecotoxicological testing using a range of non-target organisms.

Additionally, the PhD student shall, in close collaboration with experts from RISE and Chalmers, apply various techniques for the preparation of biocide-loaded microcapsules and wet-spinning techniques to produce cellulose fibers with embedded microcapsules. The overall aim is to provide a proof-of-concept for the whole process of producing antimicrobial materials that have at least the same performance as current materials, but, at the same time, have a substantially lower environmental footprint.

The employment
Rules regarding education and employment on a doctoral level are given in Högskoleförordningen (HF, SFS 1993:100). Only applicants who are admitted to the postgraduate level may be hired. Upon appointment the degree of ability to successfully complete the PhD program must firstly be evaluated. The employment is planned to start in September 2019  or upon agreement.

Hur celler försvarar sig mot toxiska metaller

Forskargruppens övergripande forskningsintresse är att förstå hur celler känner av närvaron av giftiga metaller i sin omgivning samt vilka mekanismer de aktiverar för att förvärva tolerans. Vi fokuserar framförallt på de molekylära processer som styr signalöverföring och genuttryck i cellens försvar mot olika metaller samt på hur system som transporterar metaller över cellmembran regleras. För att förstå varför metaller är giftiga studerar vi hur enskilda proteiner och cellulära processer påverkas under metallexponering.

För mer information: http://cmb.gu.se/om_institutionen/personal?userId=xtamma

Arbetsuppgifter
Målet med forskarutbildningsprojektet är att klarlägga orsakerna som bidrar till att specifika metaller är giftiga och att identifiera deras verkningsmekanismer i levande celler. Doktoranden kommer att systematiskt studera verkningsmekanismerna hos utvalda metaller med moderna celltester för att få funktionell information om vilka gener, proteiner och processer som metallerna påverkar. Projektet använder jäst som genetisk modellsystem för att få insikt i grundläggande mekanismer som är av betydelse för människor och andra levande varelser.

Projektet kommer att exponera doktoranden mot ett brett spektrum av vetenskapliga uppgifter och frågeställningar som i sin tur kräver ett genuint intresse av och kunskaper i mikrobiologi och molekylärbiologi. Forskningsarbetet kommer att innefatta metoder inom mikrobiologi, molekylärbiologi, cellbiologi, funktionsgenomik, bioinformatik, samt biokemi.
