About the position:
Position of research laboratory technician is open for the group „Microenvironment of Immune Cells“ that is part of Molecular Medicine program at CEITEC-Masaryk university (MU).
We study the molecular pathways that regulate microenvironmental interactions in normal and malignant immune cells. The microenvironment of immune niches plays an important role in the onset, progression, and resistance of hematological malignancies. We largely focus on the role of non-coding RNAs (microRNAs [miRNAs] and long-noncoding RNAs [lncRNA]) in these pathways. The deregulation of non-coding RNAs can lead to aberrant regulation of pathways that are canonically associated with cancer biology like apoptosis, proliferation and differentiation. However, the role of non-coding RNAs in the microenvironmental interactions of normal and malignant cells is largely unknown.
