Postdoc Exp. Hematology: Exploring the macrophage landscape in AML

Company:

UMC Groningen

Job description

WerkomgevingThe University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) is one of the largest academic hospitals in the Netherlands and the largest employer in the Northern Netherlands. In addition to providing clinical care, it is a constituent member of the University of Groningen with much focus on core research, training, and education. The Department of Experimental Hematology is directly embedded within the clinical Hematology department, and allows for direct clinical translation of the latest insights from our fundamental research lines.For an overview of our work please see:
For further information please contact: prof.dr. J.J.Schuringa (j.j.schuringa@umcg.nl)Functiebeschrijving The general aims of the division of Experimental Hematology are to obtain detailed knowledge on (molecular) mechanisms that determine hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, with the ultimate goal to deepen our insights in the development of human leukemias. We have a specific interest in dissecting the clonal heterogeneity of leukemias and recently developed tools that allow us to identify and prospectively isolate genetically distinct clones within individual patients. Also, we have a strong interest in uncovering the immune microenvironment in AML. Within the latter project, we are currently looking for a motivated post-doc that will further investigate the role of macrophages in AML. This project was recently awarded by the Dutch cancer Foundation and builds further on our finding that M2 tumor-supportive macrophages are highly relevant for tumor progression (see PMID: 37058562; 37646656. Via a process termed “macrophage cuddling” we have shown that that direct macrophage-leukemic blasts interactions are highly relevant for leukemia development, and the underlying molecular and cell biological mechanisms will be investigated in the current project.Wat vragen wij
