more precise prediction of the prognosis and to assess the need for adjuvant therapy
in individual cancer patients. The project leaders, Prof. Pantel and Prof. Burkhardt,
have profound experience in experimental and clinical studies on tumour dissemination
and cancer micro-metastasis (Nature Rev. Cancer 8, 329-340, 2008).
Job description: The successful applicant will work as part of an experienced team of
senior scientists and technicians and have the opportunity of working on the development
of a new diagnostic platform for the detection and molecular characterization of
metastating stem cells in cancer patients. There is the opportunity of building up a
research group which will be driven by the applicant’s innovative skills and commitment
to the project.
Profile: Applicants holding a PhD or MD/PhD in biology, biochemistry or medicine,
and who have profound knowledge in experimental medical research with a focus on
molecular biology and/or immunology should apply.
