Job description

Approximately 50% of cancer patients is treated with radiotherapy. Success of a radiation treatment is largely determined by the quality of the delivered dose distribution. Doses should be very high in the tumor and as low as possible in surrounding healthy tissues, especially in vital radiation sensitive organs. Development of algorithms and procedures for design of individualized irradiation strategies (treatment plans) is a key research line of the department. Optimization of the patient’s dose distribution is a complex, non-convex and discrete mathematical problem with multiple objectives and constraints, and a patient anatomy that may change during the fractionated therapy. Not only the quality of the final dose distribution is important, but also optimization time, speed of daily dose delivery and required human interaction and workload. The selected candidate will participate in these investigations.

Requirements

• PhD in operations research, numerical mathematics, or other relevant field;
• Excellent programming skills (Python, C++, Matlab) for prototyping;
• Ambitious and eager to take initiative;

Job description

The project is funded by a Dutch Cancer Foundation (KWF) and is entitled ‘Novel Protein  Kinases Targets In IGF-1 and EGF Receptor - Mediated Drug Resistant Breast Cancer’.

Treatment of breast cancer has improved with the introduction of anti-estrogen therapy. Yet a large percentage (>40%) of tamoxifen treated breast cancers eventually become resistant to tamoxifen, and also resistance to other anti-estrogens has been reported. Resistance to anti-estrogens has been linked to increased expression and/or activation of various receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) such as EGFR, IGF-1R and HER2. This may lead to downstream phosphorylation of the estrogen receptor and insensitivity to the antagonistic action of anti-estrogens.
We have recently established relevant models for anti-estrogen resistant breast cancer by ectopically expressing the human EGFR and IGF-1R in human MCF7 breast cancer cells. When stimulated with EGF or IGF1 respectively, these cells are almost completely resistant to inhibition of estradiol-induced cell proliferation by tamoxifen and fulvestrant. Using genome-wide protein kinase and phosphatase siRNA-based screening we identified >35 kinases and phosphatases in MCF7/IGF-1R cells that reversed the IGF1-induced tamoxifen resistance. These candidates may represent potentially novel drug targets for anti-estrogen resistant breast cancer. The goals of this project are to characterize these novel drug targets with respect to their role in tamoxifen resistance, breast cancer cell proliferation and survival in 3D models in vitro, and to validate the role of a selected number of these drug target candidates in control of cell proliferation, tamoxifen resistance, and tumor progression in vivo, in xenograft tumor models in mice.

Requirements

We seek a talented and highly motivated candidate with proven experience in cell and molecular biology, cell signalling and light microscopy. The candidate should have a MSc degree in (Medical) Biology, Life Science Technology, Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences or any other closely related discipline. Experience or affinity with image analysis is recommended.

Conditions of employment

The candidate will work within the Division of Toxicology and the Leiden Cell Observatory.  We are situated in the Gorlaeus Laboratories on the Science Park Leiden. Currently, 30 researchers including technicians, PhD students, and Postdocs work in the Division of Toxicology. The candidate will become part of a young and dynamic team of around 30 PhD students and postdocs with a strong expertise in and signal transduction, breast cancer models, and live cell imaging. We offer a vibrant, research-driven work environment with emphasis on team spirit, excellence, and skills development.
Appointment will be according to the terms of the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities (CAO Nederlandse Universiteiten), for the duration of one year with an extension of three years after positive evaluation.
