The following positions are open in the Laboratory of CIRO ISIDORO (Professor of Pathology, Dept. Medical Sciences, Università “A. Avogadro”, Novara, Italy. E-mail: isidoro@med.unipmn.it)  for the period 2008 (starting in September-October)-2011: 3 PhD students plus 3 Postdoc positions. Ideal candidates: 1. should have a solid background in cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology; 2. should be enthusiastic and be able to work in group in a stimulating and exciting environment. Selection starts in July.

We study the mechanisms of antineoplastic drug toxicity and the molecular basis of chemoresistance in cancer cells with a focus on the involvement and regulation of the autophagy-lysosomal proteolytic pathway and its relationship with the apoptotic pathway. We are also setting a section of nanobiotechnology for the production and validation of NIR-dye- and drug-loaded nanoparticles for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
