The research is performed in an interdisciplinary setting with strong collaboration with clinical departments and other national and international research groups.</p>\n\n\n<p>Our research aims at acquiring a comprehensive picture of breast cancer risk and prognosis. There are a vast number of auxiliary projects ongoing. We are studying a wide range of blood-bound molecular markers using multi-omics approaches and assessing the impact of these markers on the risk of aggressive breast cancer. Other projects we are working on are genomics of interval breast cancers, the mammographic density and texture associated with breast cancer subtype, inherited variance for breast cancer risk and prognosis and identification of breast-tumor specific markers for disease progression.</p>\n\n\n<p>Within the framework of KARMA, <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://karmastudy.org/\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://karmastudy.org/</a>, one of the world’s best-characterized cohorts, several large studies are available with collected biological samples, questionnaires and complete information about clinical characteristics and disease progression.</p>\n\n\n<p>See Professor Kamila Czene’s group page for more information together with selected publications, https://staff.ki.se/people/kamcze He et al., 2020, Journal of Clinical Oncology; Grassman et al., 2019, Nature Communications; Holm et.al., 2015, Journal of Clinical Oncology; He et al., 2015, Journal of Clinical Oncology.</p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Your mission</strong>\nAs postdoctor at MEB you will work in an internationally established and strong research environment.

The institution, which has around 6,000 students, is located close to the Karolinska University Hospital. The Karolinska Institute’s research spans the whole field of medicine, from basic experimental research to patient-oriented and nursing research. The institution is the single largest conductor of academic medical research in Sweden.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Karolinska Institute was founded by King Karl XIII in 1810 as an academy for the training of surgeons, after one in three soldiers wounded in a war against Russia died in field hospitals. In 1861, the institution was granted the right to confer degrees and gained a status equal to that of a university. In 1895, Alfred Nobel's will bequeathed the Karolinska Institute the right to select the winner of the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since then, five Karolinska Institute researchers have won a Nobel Prize in that category. In 1997, the institution was granted full university status. The institution has two campuses: KI Campus Solna and KI Campus Huddinge, located in the northwest and south of Stockholm respectively. Both campuses are a 10-15 minute walk or train ride from the centre of the city. As well as bachelor’s and master degrees, the Karolinska Institute also offers doctoral degrees. To gain a PhD, students must develop an advanced general knowledge of medical science and scientific methodology, as well as cutting edge scientific skills in the research field they choose to explore in their thesis.</p>","logoImg":"","logoImgSquare":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/asjkheas_301350749238.png","homepageUrl":"https://ki.se/","infoUrl":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/karolinska-institute","country":"SE","state":"Stockholm","location":"유럽","address":"SE-171 77, Stockholm, Sweden","phoneNumber":"+46 8 524 800 00","faxNumber":"","type":1,"univType1":"대학","univType2":"대학교","univType3":"","univType4":"본교","establishedAt":"1810-01-01T00:00:00.000Z","count_majors":null,"count_students":null,"meta_competitiveness":"","publishState":1,"updatedAt":"2020-04-01T17:42:06.000Z","createdAt":"2020-03-04T20:13:07.000Z","default_1_bannerImage":null,"default_1_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_2_bannerImage":null,"default_2_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_3_bannerImage":null,"default_3_bannerImageMobile":null}}
