hela Sverige The University of Gothenburg tackles society's challenges with diverse knowledge. 56 000 students and 6 600 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.The Institute of Biomedicine is involved in both research and education. In both of these areas, we focus on fundamental knowledge of the living cell - what it consists of, how it works, how its function is directed by the genetic material, and how it interacts with various kinds of micro-organisms. Using this knowledge, we try to elucidate the causes of diseases, and find new ways to diagnose and treat them.
The Institute is composed of the following four departments:
• The Department of Infectious Diseases
• The Department of Microbiology and Immunology
• The Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology
• The Department of Laboratory Medicine
At present, the institute has about 340 employees and approximately 450 million SEK in total asset.
Our lab works with the heart attack marker troponin, which has been shown to be released from the heart even in the absence of a heart attack. This release increases with age and in the presence of kidney and heart disease, causing problems when trying to rule out a heart attack in the emergency room. We aim to understand how troponin is released from living heart cells. We are also developing methods to detect analytical interference
Duties
Culturing heart cells. Analyzing troponin and other biomarkers in blood and culture media at a clinical lab. Performing histological examinations of heart tissue. Writing manuscripts. Developing methods to detect antibody-mediated analytical interference.
Qualifications
Ph.D. diploma in relevant field with demonstrated ability to work independently in a lab and solve tasks with some supervision. Good knowledge of heart attack markers and how they are analyzed. Experience in immunohistochemistry and documented experience in cardiac histology are meritorious. Documented experience in culturing and differentiating iPS cells into heart cells.
Employment
The employment is limited (temporary) for 5 months and full-time with placement at the Institute of Biomedicine. First day of employment as agreed.
