Doctoral (PhD) student position in Molecular Neuro-Pharmacology with focus on Parkinson’s Disease – Karolinska Institute
The research project will focus on molecular neuropharmacological studies on the role of prosaposin and the GPR37 receptor in Parkinson´s disease. The program uses a wide of methodologies including intracellular dynamics and signalling of molecules and their direct interactions or aggregation, studies of animal models and use of patient samples. The PhD student will investigate the role of 7TM receptor-mediated processes in the aetiologies of Parkinson’s disease. In particular, the role of GPR37 and its putataive ligand prosaposin in neurodegeneration shall be studied. Various molecular and cellular assays for enzymatic activities, receptor trafficking and signalling and function will be employed in vitro and in vivo. Biomarkers will be looked for in patient samples. Successful applicants will generate data that guide the development of novel approaches to be tested in animal models of Parkinsonism.
Application Deadline: February 8, 2016

PhD Student Position in Asthma Research – Karolinska Institute
The Institute of Environmental Medicine (IMM) at the Karolinska Institute (Sweden) is looking for a Doctoral (PhD) student.
Project: The role of novel lipid mediators in the pathobiology of asthma
The project is a collaborative one between the Unit for Experimental Asthma and Allergy Research (EAAF) within the IMM, and the Integrative Molecular Phenotyping research group (IMP) within the Dept. of Medicinal Biochemistry and Biophysics (MBB). The IMP group focuses on mass spectrometry based techniques (LC/MS and GC/MS) to perform molecular phenotyping and quantification of lipids and other metabolites together with associated bioinformatics approaches. The EAAF group focuses on determining the role of endogenous and exogenous molecules on airway inflammation and function. The work will involve animal and human tissue dissection. Samples collected in the EAF group will be analyzed in the IMP group. The overall mission of the collaborative research team is to conduct mechanistic research which will define new targets for better diagnosis (biomarkers) and improved treatment (medicines) of asthma and other airway diseases
