CANBIO is a competitive PhD training program for a total of 18 PhD candidates, supported by the research funding scheme PRIDE of the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR). The CANBIO doctoral training unit provides structured PhD training in cancer biology and aims to bridge fundamental cancer research with clinically-oriented applications.
4 PhD Student Positions in Cancer Research Focusing on Tumour Escape Mechanisms Positions are funded up to 4 years with fixed-term contracts. Earliest star--date: November/December 2018
The research-intensive program tackles next-generation cancer biology covering molecular mechanisms of tumour progression, treatment resistance and biomarker discovery. It focuses on tumour escape mechanisms, thus addressing the increasingly important clinical problem of tumour recurrence and drug resistance. The program includes transferable skill training, support in career development, scientific lectures by international speakers and annual PhD retreats.
