As of 1st september 2023 or by arrangement, the research group of Perren/Marinoni/Sadowski of the Division of Experimental Pathology is seeking a PhD student: Targeting drug-tolerant persister cells - an early offensive against acquired drug resistance in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Job description

The group's research focusses on epigenetic and metabolic changes that underpin progression of indolent PanNET to aggressive, metastatic cancer. Treatment of aggressive PanNET is challenging due to the heterogeneity of this disease, the limited number of treatment options and the inevitable development of acquired drug resistance (ADR). ADR is estimated to account for 90% of cancer mortality and affects all types of therapies (chemo, targeted, immune and radiation). Targeting the early stages of ADR is a promising new strategy to extend the efficacy of existing therapies. Increasing evidence, including our own work (Tousignant et al, 2020; doi.org/10.1186/s40170-020-00217-6), shows that drug-tolerant persister (DTP) cells might play a critical role during the early phases of ADR.
