We are offering Master’s thesis projects within our newly established research group at the Division of Molecular Medicine and Gene Therapy (Department of Laboratory Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Lund University).
Our lab investigates how hematopoietic stem cells are regulated under normal conditions and how these mechanisms become dysregulated during stress and in leukemia.
Project focus
We offer M.Sc. projects connected to our ongoing research. Laboratory work may include techniques such as flow cytometry, cell culture, animal models (mouse), or various molecular assays.
Example M.Sc projects include:
*Investigating how genetic perturbations influence leukemia development and disease aggressiveness.
*Defining cellular and molecular safeguarding mechanisms that maintain hematopoietic stem cell function.
Who can apply?
We are looking for highly motivated Master’s students in biology, biomedicine, molecular biology, biotechnology, or similar fields. We are particularly interested in candidates who:
*Have prior wet‑lab experience (e.g., cell culture, flow cytometry, molecular biology).
*Are considering a Ph.D. and want to gain research experience.
