Functional precision medicine represents a new frontier in oncology, where the functionality of a proposed treatment is tested as much as possible in cancer patient companion models, prior to prescribing the best performing drug(s) for a particular patient. Functional precision medicine enables prioritisation among approved therapies, and drug repurposing, i.e. the use of already approved drugs for the treatment of new cancer types, and also enables the design of drug combinations consisting of drugs that are individually approved but not previously used together.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">We now open a PhD position where you will be part of a team where we launch a clinical trial on precision medicine, and where we make use of colon cancer lab cultivated cells, obtained directly from patients, for therapy selection. Specifically, the appointed PhD candidate will take in laboratory cultivation, including optimisation of cultivation methods, robotisation of drug exposure, and analyses for readouts of therapy responses.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The PhD position is funded by Samarbeidsorganet. You will work together with a team of clinicians, bioinformaticians and cell lab biology researchers, including both senior researchers, post doc researchers, and other PhD candidates.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The project is part of the <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www.matrix-fkb.no/\" rel=\"no-follow\">MATRIX centre</a>.
