The department of immunology, genetics and pathology at Uppsala University (http://www.igp.uu.se) has a broad research profile, with several strong research groups in different fields of science, e.g. medical and clinical genetics, bioinformatics, immunology, pathology, tumour biology, vascular biology and biotechnology. A common goal is to develop molecular diagnostics and novel therapies.
The department was founded to promote a closer collaboration between clinical and pre-clinical research and part of the activity is integrated with the clinics of genetics, immunology and pathology-cytology at the University Hospital, Uppsala. Rudbeck Laboratory has access to state-of-the-art technologies, with core facilities for cell analysis, confocal microscopy, DNA-sequencing and genotyping.

Project description: We are looking for a candidate for a PhD degree in the field of vascular biology. The project is focused on blood vessel development and function with a particular focus on vascular permeability and edema formation. In vivo models and analysis of healthy tissues and disease models by immunohistochemistry and immunostaining followed by advanced microscopy will be commonly used. Tissue culture, molecular biology and biochemical analyses as well as statistical analysis of data will be important.  Further information on the activity of the research group can be accessed at www.igp.uu.se/forskning/Cancer_och_vaskularbiologi/lena_claesson-welsh/ and Forskning/Cancer_och _vaskularbiologi/mats_hellstrom
