The Translational Research Unit (TRU) at the Institute of Pathology of the University of Bern & Lunaphore Technologies SA are seeking a Post-doctoral fellow.
Colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous disease with a tumor microenvironment rich in different cell types, densities and frequencies. Tumor budding at the advancing edge of the cancer has been described as an important prognostic and potentially predictive factor, with features of Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), but the characterization of the environment in which it persists has yet to be elucidated. In this project, we investigate the tumor microenvironment of colorectal cancers, using novel microfluidic fluorescence multiplexing technology. In a partnership with Lunaphore Technologies SA (www.lunaphore.ch), we will establish panels of protein markers to characterize this environment and establish analysis pipelines for performing cell phenotyping, spatial analysis and other cellular neighborhood explorations....
