PI Daniel Bexell has been awarded millions in funding from Åke Wibergs foundation that goes to young PIs in medical research. One of the aims is to find out why some tumors develop resistance to today’s treatment but also to find new treatment strategies. Every year around 20 children in Sweden are diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, most before even turning 5 years of age. It is a rare and complexed tu

The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signalling pathway is often dysregulated in cancer and PDGF-receptor expression has been linked to unfavourable prognostic factors in breast cancer (e.g. ER negativity, high Ki67 and high grade). This study aimed to evaluate the expression of PDGFRα, PDGFRβ and ligand PDGF-CC in breast cancer in relation to molecular subtypes and prognosis. Methods: Protei

One ERC-funded postdoc position in Molecular Pediatric Oncology lab, led by PI Daniel Bexell. The group is working with neuroblastoma (NB), a severe childhood cancer. The overall aims are to unravel mechanisms leading to metastasis and treatment resistance of NB, and to test compounds targeting aggressive NB. The post-doc will lead and develop his/her own analyses and projects, and also work in cl

Markel has worked in the field of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) during his PhD in Pål Stenmark's team, using X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM to solve the structure of several proteins related to the botulinum neurotoxins. His main cryo-EM project consisted in structural work on the 300 kDa complex of the novel BoNT serotype X and its partner protein NTNH. He has been trained as an internal user

I work as a researcher at the Faculty of Medicine studying protein-protein complexes arising at the host-pathogen interface, with the aim of understanding how pathogens evade the human immune defence. The main methods we are using are quantitative and structural mass spectrometry (cross-linking and hydrogen-deuterium exchange) in combination with single-particle cryo-EM. Since its start in 2018, I

Derek Logan's research group is based at the Dept. of Biochemistry and Structural Biology at Lund University. His research focuses on the elucidation of structure-function relationships in proteins and their complexes. A particular focus is on allosteric regulation of the essential enzyme ribonucleotide reductase and drug design against the medically important galectin family of proteins. The prin
