PhD student position in Medical Science – Clinical Pharmacology at University of Uppsala

Inside solid tumors the individual cells often grow in close vicinity to each other and areas with mild to severe oxygen deficit, hypoxia, is formed within the tumor. The hypoxic tumor cells are likely to be less sensitive against traditional treatment options, e.g. several studies have demonstrated hypoxia-related resistance against radiotherapy. Most probably this is also true for several chemotherapeutic treatments.

Aim: To investigate the activity of different anticancer drugs on:

1. tumor cells cultivated in spheroids, i.e. small micro-tumors (0.1-1 mm) with a hypoxic core
2. tumor cells cultivated under hypoxic conditions in comparison to normoxic conditions,

with special attention to drugs with potentially increased hypoxic activity and their mechanisms.
