PhD position summary/title: Doctoral (PhD) student position in Epigenetics of inflammatory type 2 diabetes
We are seeking a highly motivated and self-driven doctoral student with a keen interest in identifying novel epigenetic mechanisms and alterations linked to inflammation in the context of type 2 diabetes. The doctoral project aims to identify functional alterations of enhancers and silencers (currently understudied) linked to gene expression in human monocytes (a major source of inflammatory mediators). The student will investigate whether the cause of such alterations is genetic (e.g. SNPs), epigenetic (e.g. microenvironment-dependent chromatin modifications and 3D organization), or both (e.g. SNPs affecting a transcription factor or chromatin-modifying cofactor to facilitate genetic-epigenetic crosstalk). The project will apply latest genome and epigenome profiling and editing approaches to human monocytes (obtained from T2D donors via our clinical collaborators) and to human monocyte-derived cell lines.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student in Exercise Oncology
In Europe alone, more that 400 000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer yearly. Maintaining a physically active lifestyle after a breast cancer diagnosis is associated with a reduced risk of recurrence and improved cancer specific survival. Exercise induced shifts in immune function has been suggested as a potential mechanism for the beneficial effects and in a recent publication, we showed that the immune system, and especially CD8+ T-cells, are instrumental for the anti-neoplastic effects of exercise. The current project builds on these findings.
The project is translational and will comprise exercise interventions in animal models, healthy human subjects and primary and metastatic breast cancer patients. Specifically, the focus of the project will be on understanding how exercise induced changes in immune function, including mobilization during exercise and subsequent homing to distant tissues, contributes to disease progression and therapeutic response.

PhD position summary/title: 1-2 doctoral (PhD) student position on computational analysis of and/or development of single-cell/spatial transcriptomics/epigenomics technologies
Our research group has performed single-cell/spatial omics studies, identifying for instance several cell states within the oligodendrocyte lineage in development and disease (Science 2016, Dev Cell 2018, 2022, Nature Medicine 2018, Nature 2019, 2023 Nature Biotechnology 2021, 2022, Neuron 2022, Cell 2024,among others). Our recent findings suggest that oligodendrocyte lineage cells might present other functional properties than previously thought, transitioning for instance to disease-associated states. The PhD student projects will focus on the development and/or computational analysis of spatial transcriptomic and epigenomic technologies, and application to multiple sclerosis. The successful candidate(s) will be integrated in a multidisciplinary team comprising computational, molecular and cellular biologists and neuroimmunologists.

(08) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD student position in computational developmental biology and stem cell research
The PhD project will aim at integrating single cell clonal, spatial and dissociated cell transcriptomics data for 3D neurodevelopmental reconstruction using a machine learning approach and beyond. Combo of single cell and spatial transcriptomics adds a critical layer of information by mapping gene expression patterns to specific locations within the nervous tissue, revealing how cells interact within their microenvironment. Single cell clonal data tracks the lineage relationships between cells, providing insight into the clonal evolution of neural cells during development and regeneration. This clonal data is crucial for identifying progenitor cells and understanding their role in generating the diverse cell types. The integration of these diverse types of datasets allows for a more comprehensive reconstruction of neurodevelopmental processes, combining insights into what is happening in individual cells (gene expression), where it is happening (spatial context), and how it happened (lineage and clonal history). Also, the combination of these dataset types (cell state, cell place and cell genealogy) is particularly powerful in modeling neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, because it enables clonal phenotyping and multiplexing of multiple CRISPR-based perturbation experiments in embryos and human brain organoids. At the level of entry, we expect a good command of Python and R, and also understanding of biology (genomics/transcriptomics).

About The Karolinska Institute, Sweden – Official Website
The Karolinska Institute sometimes known as the (Royal) Caroline Institute in English is a research-led medical university in Solna within the Stockholm urban area of Sweden. The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The assembly consists of fifty professors from various medical disciplines at the university. The current rector of Karolinska Institute is Ole Petter Ottersen, who took office in August 2017.
The Karolinska Institute was founded in 1810 on the island of Kungsholmen on the west side of Stockholm; the main campus was relocated decades later to Solna, just outside Stockholm. A second campus was established more recently in Flemingsberg, Huddinge, south of Stockholm.
The Karolinska Institute is Sweden’s third oldest medical school, after Uppsala University (founded in 1477) and Lund University (founded in 1666). It is one of Sweden’s largest centres for training and research, accounting for 30% of the medical training and more than 40% of all academic medical and life science research conducted in Sweden.
The Karolinska University Hospital, located in Solna and Huddinge, is associated with the university as a research and teaching hospital. Together they form an academic health science centre. While most of the medical programs are taught in Swedish, the bulk of the PhD projects are conducted in English. The institute’s name is a reference to the Caroleans.
