Offer Description

NoPSC is dedicated to research on the chronic liver disease primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Immune functions play a clear role in the disease pathogenesis but still a lot is unknown regarding inflammatory mechanisms in the bile ducts. The NoPSC center comprises three research groups covering all aspects of research related to primary sclerosing cholangitis, from basic genomic and experimental studies to clinical research and clinical trials. The research environment is world-leading for PSC and counts 30-35 engaged researchers from several countries and specialties.

We are now seeking a skilled and ambitious co-worker to take on a challenging project funded by the Research Council of Norway. The project will be a collaborative effort with a Norwegian Centre of Excellence headed by Professor Stefan Krauss. The project is led by Professor Espen Melum who combines expertise on bile duct inflammation and bile duct diseases with technological advances. The postdoctoral fellow will form an integrated team together with researchers at HTH and NoPSC and work with a recently established bile-duct-on a chip system to uncover and modulate inflammatory processes in the bile ducts. The experiments will be conducted using mainly human material with a high relevance for translation into clinical medicine.
