Degree project: Understanding blood cancer in children, IGP, UU

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) reside in the bone marrow and sustain human hematopoiesis. To generate a variety of mature blood cells, HSCs undergo distinct processes including self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation. Failure in any one of these processes can result in hematopoietic disorders and cancer. In this master level degree project you will study why mutations in the nucleolar transcription factor UBTF is a recurring event in cancer progression resulting in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in children. Ask the supervisor if you are instead interested in doing a different long individual course, like research training or project work.

Master level research training / internship in the Sabatini Lab at MIT

Here is a fantastic opportunity to potentially join the Sabatini Lab at the Whitehead Institute, MIT, for a research training / internship during 2021 (or possibly later). The Sabatini lab has broad interests in the regulation of growth and metabolism in mammals. Their work focuses in part on a cellular network called the mTOR pathway, a critical regulator of growth in many species. They have identified many of the protein components of the mTOR pathway and are beginning to understand their functions at the cell and organismal level and in diseases such as cancer and diabetes as well as in aging. Read further about this particular project offer in the pdf! Do not hesitate to contact the PI if you have questions! Optional mTOR related projects are also possible to discuss, should you have specific interests.

PhD student in Microbial community ecology, EBC Uppsala

A PhD student position in Microbial community ecology is available at the Department of Ecology and Genetics, Limnology. It will be focused on the dispersal of bacteria between ecosystems, and their importance as a food source for higher trophic levels. One hypothesis to be tested is that the importance of bacteria as a food source depends on their food quality, for instance related to their elemental stoichiometry. The project will consist of field work as well as laboratory experiments and is funded by the Swedish Research Council.

Sommarjobb på Medicago AB, Uppsala

Medicago, som är ett familjeägt bolag verksamt inom bio- och medicinteknik, grundades 1995 och har alltsedan dess haft rening av lektiner som en av sina huvudverksamheter. Lektiner är kolhydratbindande proteiner med egenskaper som gör att de kan fästa till glykosylerade proteiner, till exempel från virus. En av bolagets produkter, ett lektin framrenat från linser, har visat sig fästa till covid-19-viruset och är därför mycket eftertraktat av vaccinbolag idag. De är nu i en uppskalningsfas och är i behov av mer personal. Både tillfälligt under sommaren, men också på sikt, vilket ev. kan leda till en fast anställning som processingenjör.

SLU Artdatabankens konferens Flora- och faunavård 2021

Naturvården står inför stora utmaningar. Samtidigt ökar vår kunskap om arterna och tillståndet för vår natur. I Sverige är många utredningar och beslut uppe på bordet och nya globala mål ska sättas. Under konferensen kommer vi att redovisa tillståndet i den svenska naturen, diskutera klimatförändringar i relation till biologisk mångfald, prata om förutsättningar, utmaningar och framtid. Konferensen tar upp det mest aktuella i svensk naturvård. I år provas ett nytt sätt att träffas. Hela konferensen hålls i år digitalt och den är öppen för alla som är intresserade av naturvård. 

Flora- och faunavård 2021: "Biologisk mångfald på agendan – dags att agera"

Doktorandplats i ekologi, Högskolan i Kristianstad

Gäss och svanar har ökat dramatiskt i norra Europa, vilket väcker flera frågeställningar, bland annat vilka konsekvenserna är i ekosystemen. Detta är speciellt angeläget att studera i akvatiska ekosystem eftersom även många våtmarker genomgår stora förändringar i växt- och djursamhällen, men också i exempelvis ökad grad av brunifiering. Eftersom gäss och svanar ofta utgör en stor del av den totala biomassan av de akvatiska konsumenterna kommer projektet belysa om dessa fåglar har centrala roller i pågående förändringar i våtmarksekosystem. Sådan kunskap är viktig för framgångsrik förvaltning av våtmarker som ekosystem, men också av enskilda växt- och djurgrupper som ingår i dem. Läs vidare om det intressanta och angelägna projektet i pdf-en!

Degree project on aspects of acute myeloid leukemia in children at IGP, UU

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological disorder where expansion of mutated hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) leads to overproduction of immature white blood cells and leukemia. Genomic sequencing of AML patients has revealed recurrent mutations in a gene called UBTF. How mutations in UBTF contribute to myeloid malignancies remains an unanswered question which this project aims to shed light on. Students interested in doing a long individual project course/research training are also welcome to take a contact for further discussions.
