Offer DescriptionWelcome to take part in the research activities within Amanda Welin's group at the (KKF). The overall aim of the project is to develop improved diagnostic and predictive tools for hematology and clinical immunology. The project is a collaboration with 's group at the (MMV).The scholarship is part of the International Postdoc Program, the start date is negotiable.Research projectImaging flow cytometry is a state-of-the-art quantitative flow-based image analysis technique. The combination of fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry enables high-throughput imaging of cells in suspension and quantitative image content analysis. The aim of the project is to develop novel diagnostic tools that employ imaging flow cytometry, to improve diagnosis and aid therapeutic decisions in the acquired autoimmune disorder immune thrombocytopenia as well as in inborn errors of immunity.You will conduct research using human blood samples, processing them for imaging flow cytometry (ImageStreamX MkII), acquiring data and developing novel analysis strategies. The project involves project management, laboratory work, data analysis and statistical processing, and manuscript writing.Where to apply E-maillisa.dobrosch@liu.seRequirementsResearch Field Medical sciences » Other Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsThe applicant must have or be about to receive a doctoral degree in a subject relevant to the research project.
