🚀 We are hiring!

𝗣𝗵𝗗 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗔𝗥-𝗧 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆

We are looking for a passionate and motivated PhD student to join an exciting project focused on how nerve, immune and cancer cell interactions shape metastatic tumor behavior and resistance to cellular therapies, especially CAR-T cells.

The project combines:

• Whole-body tissue clearing
• Light-sheet microscopy
• wildDISCO-based immunolabeling
• CAR-T and immune cell tracking in metastatic cancer
• Spatial proteomics and 3D spatial biology
• AI-based analysis of large-scale imaging datasets
This is a great opportunity for someone with a background in cancer biology, immunology, neuroscience, biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering or a related field who wants to work at the interface of experimental biology, advanced imaging and AI.

Glad to have contributed to this collaborative study in @NatureComms: basal mammary cells can initiate tumors as efficiently as luminal cells when RANK signaling is activated. #BreastCancer #TumorInitiation #RANKsignaling #MammaryBiology

🚨 The Human Ageing Genomic Resources Are at Risk

For over 20 years, our Human Ageing Genomic Resources (HAGR) have supported ageing and longevity research worldwide (200,000+ users per year, 1,000+ citations, widely used by academic labs and longevity biotech).

Due to shifting UK government funding priorities, our infrastructure funding was not renewed in 2024, and these databases are now at risk of going offline.

We are raising funds to cover basic server costs and secure their continuity while we pursue long-term funding.

If these resources have supported your research, your company, or your thinking, please consider helping sustain them.

Participated in the CMU × @nvidia Federated Learning Hackathon (Jan 2026). Worked on OncoLearn, exploring federated cancer subtyping with multi-omic data using NVIDIA FLARE. Always learning 🚀

Turns out, you can cry a little, code a lot, and still get a PhD😄Last week, I officially received my PhD from the Faculty of Medicine, @lunduniversity .
Grateful for every challenge, every lesson, and everyone who stood by me.
PhDone but never done learning.
