PhD position summary/title: Doctoral (PhD) student position in Epidemiology
The doctoral student project aims at generating new knowledge about the impact of small-area deprivation on inequality in health. The student will investigate the spatial distribution of disease burden by small-area deprivation across regions in Sweden and explore if the socioeconomic standard of living areas can impact the health outcomes of its inhabitants. The project will build upon nationwide register data on health, health care and welfare and methods developed in the Global burden of Disease (GBD) study. The goal is to improve the knowledge around the impact of small-area deprivation and inequality in health and to help support policy decision and targeted action.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student (PhD) position in oesophageal cancer
The PhD project will examine factors that may prevent adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus, a cancer with increasing incidence and poor prognosis. In large-scale studies, based on merged data from several national health data registries in Nordic countries, the project aims to evaluate if the risk of oesophageal adenocarcinoma is decreased after obesity surgery, antireflux surgery and use of certain potentially anti-carcinogenic medications, i.e. aspirins, statins, and proton pump inhibitors.

PhD position summary/title: Two doctoral (PhD) student positions in translational medicine & chemical biology
Project 1: OGG1 activators and inhibitors in control of inflammatory diseases
With Professor Thomas Helleday as principal supervisor, supported by Christina Kalderén, Team Leader Oliver Mortusewicz and Assistant Professor Maurice Michel in the co-supervision team, this project aims to understand both positive and negative small molecule modulation in DNA repair. In the past, we have developed OGG1 inhibitors and broadly studied the compounds from basic biochemistry and biology to first disease models (Visnes et al. 2018, Science; Visnes et al. 2020; NAR; Tanner et al. 2021, biorxiv). Currently, we are investigating small molecule activators of OGG1, as a novel technology to enhance oxidative DNA damage repair (Michel et al. 2022, unpublished). The prospective doctoral student will perform research to i) understand the precise mode of action of small molecule activators of OGG1, ii) unite research on inhibitors and activators to elucidate the molecular role of OGG1 in promoting transcription, and iii) use OGG1 inhibitors to evaluate therapeutic opportunities in a disease model of rheumatoid arthritis.
Project 2: Understanding and exploiting drug resistance in cancer – targeting SAMHD1
With Assistant Professor Sean Rudd as principal supervisor, supported by Professor Thomas Helleday and Dr Si Min Zhang in the co-supervisory team, this project seeks to understand and exploit drug resistance pathways in cancer cells. Central to this work is our previous research upon the enzyme SAMHD1 which we established as a targetable chemoresistance factor in acute myeloid leukaemia (Herold et al., 2017, Nat Med; Rudd et al., 2020, EMBO Mol Med). The doctoral student will build upon these findings and broadly aim to define and exploit this role of SAMHD1. This will entail, (i), the systematic characterisation of the interaction of SAMHD1 with nucleoside drugs, (ii) the development and benchmarking of small molecule SAMHD1 inhibitors, and (iii), defining the broader role of SAMHD1 in modulating the efficacy of oncology drugs.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral (PhD) student position in liquid biopsy biomarkers of pancreatic beta cell damage
This KID-funded Ph.D. project focuses on developing non-invasive methods for identifying individuals at risk of type 1 diabetes and as such will contribute to the introduction of personalized medicines for use in preventing this common and life-threatening disease. More specifically, the candidate will contribute to the discovery of protein biomarkers that predict disease onset. The candidate will be part of a supportive team and in this environment, perform global proteomics analyses of the secretome and extracellular vesicles released from cultured cells. The candidate will also contribute to the identification of biomarkers in whole plasma samples and plasma-derived extracellular vesicles collected from an experimental model of type 1 diabetes. The tasks include learning and performing methods for extracting and characterizing extracellular vesicles including nanoparticle tracking analysis, electron microscopy (EM), methods for identifying secreted and extracellular vesicle associated proteins including advanced mass spectrometry (conducted by SciLifeLab), Western blot, etc. It may also include work with experimental disease models and viruses suspected to play a role in triggering type 1 diabetes. The work is performed in the Flodström-Tullberg group with extra support for the studies involving extracellular vesicles provided by the co-supervisor, Samir el Andaloussi and his team. The student will learn how to handle the necessary bioinformatics tools and software for data analysis (proteomics), with guidance from a member of the main supervisor’s laboratory and NBIS (https://nbis.se).

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral (PhD) student position in experimental oncology
The doctoral Programme is a collaboration between the Karolinska Institutet and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, aiming towards a joint doctoral degree. (https://staff.ki.se/rules-and-routines-for-the-joint-doctoral-programme-in-medical-technology ).This project is entitled “Molecular sex differences and estrogen receptor beta impact colorectal cancer development”. Colorectal cancer is the 3rd most common cancer for men and women, but a truly preventive or targeted therapy against this disease does not yet exist. Estrogen is associated with a lower incidence and our goal is to understand the basic mechanistic background of this association. Estrogen signaling is mediated by estrogen receptors which can be activated or inactivated by ligands, and are ideal candidates for therapeutic targeting.

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.
