Bioinformatician - Stem Cell Aging

Ref.: 23-227_SS_CF

About the research group

In the present collaborative project (TRANSCAN-3 project Research and Innovation), we will specifically address the molecular mechanisms driving extramedullary (EM) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) relapses through a transnational consortium of six partners, capable of guaranteeing access to a large case cohort samples. Investigation will focus on specific questions, including whether the escape mechanisms described in the bone marrow have a role also in EM sites, if the pathological kinase signaling that is characteristic of EM AML affects the immune microenvironment, and how oxidative stress and lactic acid metabolism come into play in this relapse modality.

The successful candidate will join a project that is a close collaboration between the group of Dr. Florian, which belongs to the Program of Regenerative Medicine at IDIBELL, and the hematology unit (myeloid neoplasms), headed by Dr. Montserrat Arnan (ICO-IDIBELL).
