We are currently seeking a candidate for a postdoctoral position in colorectal cancer (CRC) research. The project will explore the role of goblet cell-intrinsic mucosal defence systems in determining susceptibility to CRC. The candidate will join a newly established Wallenberg Centre for Molecular and Translational Medicine (WCMTM) at the University of Gothenburg (www.wcmtm.gu.se). As part of this venture, Dr. George Birchenough has established his research group (www.birchenoughlab.org) at the Department of Medical Biochemistry & Cell Biology at the University of Gothenburg. The group works towards a better understanding of how mucosal defence systems control our interactions with the environment, how those systems fail in disease and how they might be prophylactically or therapeutically targeted. The group is part of a large network of researchers at Gothenburg University, most importantly the Mucin Biology Groups cluster (www.medkem.gu.se/mucinbiology) that currently includes over 30 researchers working at the forefront of mucosal biology. The candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with experts in multiple experimental methods that work within the cluster, as well as more widely with other local and national groups within the WCMTM network. Subject area ​ Translational Mucosal 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 has 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. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent and lethal types of cancer, and is especially prevalent in nations with a high human development index, indicating that factors associated with a modern, Westernized lifestyle are linked to CRC development. Most cases of CRC result from spontaneous mutations rather than heritable oncogenic mutations, and dysregulated interactions between the intestinal microbiota and immune system are implicated in tumorigenesis. Goblet cell-intrinsic defence systems, such as the mucus layer and sentinel goblet cells normally control host-microbiota interactions, but we have recently found that these systems are highly susceptible to environmental alterations caused by exposure to a Western-style diet. Thus, disruption of goblet cell-dependent functions may have a causal relationship with CRC development. By combining data from pre-clinical mouse models with analysis of samples from healthy and CRC patients, we hope to develop a better understanding of how goblet cell functions contribute to CRC susceptibility and develop new approaches to prevent CRC development. Duties ​ The successful candidate will be expected to work extensively with pre-clinical mouse models and human tissues acquired during routine surgery.

Although modern treatment often leads to clinical, endoscopic and histological healing, many patients relapse. Why an apparently healed intestinal mucosa remains biologically vulnerable is a central unanswered question. This PhD project aims to identify the molecular mechanisms that determine whether remission remains stable or the disease relapses. The project is based on the hypothesis that the intestinal microenvironment, shaped by interactions between the microbiota, microbial metabolites and host regulatory signals, is not fully restored during remission, which may increase susceptibility to renewed inflammatory stimuli. The PhD student will be part of BioLabX, Sweden's national research school in Biomedical Laboratory Science. The project is particularly relevant for applicants with a background in Biomedical Laboratory Science.  The PhD student will combine patient-oriented research with experimental models to investigate how the intestinal microenvironment influences immune function during remission. The work includes handling and analysis of human patient samples, functional cell models using human macrophages, advanced cell culture, flow cytometry and molecular biology, as well as metabolomics and lipidomics. Bioinformatic and statistical methods will be used to integrate molecular data with clinical follow-up and identify biomarkers that may predict relapse. The research environment is translational and interdisciplinary, with close collaboration between preclinical researchers, clinical gastroenterologists and national research networks. Through BioLabX, the PhD student will have access to a national network, specialised doctoral courses and pedagogical training. The PhD student will also participate in teaching Biomedical Laboratory Science in Swedish.

Given their importance for brain computations, synaptic imbalances are thought to underlie a majority of neuropsychiatric, psychiatric, and neurodevelopmental diseases. A large fraction of the brain’s synapses undergoes controlled removal during development, but formation and balanced removal of synapses continue throughout life, presumably to support learning and memory. An excessive loss of synapses during late adolescence is thought to underlie schizophrenia. However, while synaptic transmission is well-characterized at the molecular level, much less is known about the cell biological processes that govern their structural assembly and disassembly. The Sterky lab aims to identify key molecular steps during synapse assembly, stabilization and disassembly (see https://sterkylab.se). For this, we focus on synaptic cell adhesion molecules, proteins on the neuron’s surface that physically interact with the contacting neuron, the proteins they in turn interact with and means by which they may be regulated. Several of these proteins are genetically linked to human diseases such as schizophrenia, and the long-term goal of this research is to develop means to normalize synaptic imbalances that underlie human disease. This project will address the synaptic role of a specific protein family by experimentally analyzing both genetically modified human neurons and mice.
