Field of subject for the appointment: Biomedical sciences
Placement city: Kalmar
Job description
A four-year Ph.D. Research Fellowship is available at the Linnaeus University, Centre for Biomaterials Chemistry, Sweden. The subject of our research is to study complementsystem protein interactions in experimental neurodegenerative retinal diseases, were age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is in focus. The main goal is to advance the understanding of the mechanisms behind adverse complement reactions during the degenerative retinal process. The furture goal is to find new possible treatments for AMD.
This Ph.D. project focus on role of innate immunity in ocular diseases and therapy. The project will include the development of experimental AMD-models for investigations of the pathogenesis during the retinal neurodegenative process. The primary focus is investigation of complement system components and related proteins involved in the degenerative process with the ambition to prevent the progression of degeneration. Methodologies that will be relevant are animal-models, techniques for cell- and tissue culturing and analysis (immunocyto-and histochemistry, microscopy, flow cytometry etc.), biomarker analysis (ELISA, Luminex, western blot). The research will be performed at Linnaeus University, Centre for Biomaterials Chemistry, Kalmar, Sweden. The candidate will join a strong and interactive research environment.
