Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctor to Karolinska Institutet
Do you want to contribute to top-tier medical research? At the Department of Oncology-Pathology, our group focuses on the critical role of mechanical forces in the development of cancer and vascular diseases. Our multidisciplinary team includes pathologists, clinicians, and molecular scientists, working together in an international environment dedicated to improving human health.
Our research focuses on Amotl2 (Angiomotin-like protein 2), a crucial regulator of cell behavior that plays an essential role in cancer biology. Amotl2 influences cell polarity, migration, and cell junction integrity, all of which are key processes involved in tumor development and metastasis. As part of the motin family, Amotl2 contributes to cellular architecture and tissue organization, acting as a scaffold protein that facilitates interactions between molecules essential for maintaining cell shape and intercellular communication.
Studies suggest that p60Amotl2, a truncated isoform of Amotl2, can modulate oncogenic pathways and affect cellular responses that promote tumor cell migration and invasion—critical steps in metastasis. Additionally, p60Amotl2’s role in maintaining cell junctions and polarity is essential, as its dysregulation can lead to the loss of these features, a characteristic often observed in cancer cells as they transition to a more invasive and metastatic state. Consequently, p60Amotl2 is emerging as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for understanding and inhibiting cancer progression.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral studies in Neuro-Immunology and Cancer Neuroscience
Pain is a common feature of various cancers. Cancer cells actively secrete factors that promote the neuronal infiltration of tumors. Inhibiting the electrical signals of tumor-infiltrating neurons can help decrease tumor growth, but the specific mechanisms through which neurons regulate cancer cell survival remain undetermined. Building on our recent findings published in Nature (2022, PMID: 36323780), the lab of Dr. Sébastien Talbot is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral fellow to study how tumor-innervating nociceptors—typically considered bystanders—control malignant cells’ immune escape behaviors and their resistance to therapy.

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.
