Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer
among women, and one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide.
The long-term goal of our studies is to gain a better molecular
understanding of how this highly heterogeneous group of diseases
develops, progresses and spreads. Part of our efforts is devoted to the
identification of signaling molecules that regulate the progression
and/or metastasis of breast cancer, and can also be potential targets
for breast cancer therapy. We use multidisciplinary experimental
approaches applying both in vitro and in vivo animal models. Candidates
must have a strong background in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and
experience in signal transduction research. Individuals with experienced work with animal models are preferred.
Candidates should have their Ph.D. for no more than three years.
