This might be something for you Master Thesis:Development of synthetic lymph nodes to study leukemia therapy resistanceStarting on February 1st, 2026 (with flexibility). We have pioneered the development of synthetic lymph nodes formed from artificial cells that can mimics the microenvironment of leukemia cells. This approach can be applied to form artificial tumor microenvironments with defined properties and systematically study therapy resistance mechanisms. We are able to induce specific molecular and biophysical changes in the synthetic lymph nodes that mimic the signaling induced by the extracellular matrix and other immune cells in the lymph nodes. The master thesis should study the effects of the extracellular matrix in conjunction with intercellular signaling on therapy resistance of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.Techniques applied include:3D cancer cell cultureImmuno-staining with flow cytometry analysisAdvanced microscopy (light-sheet microscopy, confocal fluorescence microscopy)Biochemical and radiometric assaysInterested? We are looking forward to receiving your application (CV, B.Sc. certificate or transcripts of record, motivation letter) by December 15th, 2025.
