Doctoral Candidate Position - part of the ACHILLES MSCA Doctoral Network
Associate Prof. Marcus Järås, head of the Targeted Therapies in Leukemia research group at Lund Stem Cell Center, is currently recruiting an industrial Doctoral Candidate for a project that has been selected to be part of the ACHILLES Marie Skłodowska Curie Action (MSCA) Doctoral Network (DN) funded by the European Commission under Horizon Europe program.
The project titled 'Development of Therapeutic Antibodies for Treating Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML),' will be conducted together with Lead Biologicals International AB, located in Lund. The primary objective of this project is to develop therapeutic antibodies for the treatment of AML. The specific objectives of this project are:
- Generating high-affinity antibodies that are specific to AML and capable of restoring immune surveillance against leukemia cells by performing single-cell sequencing of rabbit B-cells using the 10x Genomics platform.
- Testing the binding affinity and specificity of the generated antibodies against AML cells.
- Translating these results into effective treatment options for AML patients by enhancing immune responses with improved specificity and efficacy.
Application Deadline: 28 February, 2026
