Leuven International Doctoral School Biomedical Sciences
4-Year PhD Fellowships
The mission of the Leuven International Doctoral School Biomedical Sciences is to train young biomedical researchers to explore the fundamentals of living systems at all levels – from gene to cell to body and mind – and to leverage that knowledge to improve human health.
For 2009 we can offer up to 13 fully-funded PhD positions in the following doctoral school programs:
- Cancer (2 fellowships)
- Cell Signaling and Therapeutics (3 fellowships)
- Drug Design and Development (2 fellowships)
- Emerging Concepts in Cardiovascular Medicine (4 fellowships)
- Immunology and Microbiology (1 fellowship)
- Molecular and Stem Cell Medicine (1 fellowships)
Successful applicants will perform doctoral research under the supervision of a promoter who is affiliated to one of the doctoral school programs. In addition, the doctoral training includes thematic education and encourages PhD students to develop transferable skills.

Vacature 32/095-2e
Within the Biomedical Research Institute (BIOMED) of Hasselt University, the following positions (m/f) are available:
2 PhD students students in biomedical sciences
‘Autoimmunity’: Biomarker research in Multiple Sclerosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis (2×2 years)
(mandate MBW/2008/020-021)
Background
The Biomedical Research Institute is a multidisciplinary research institute of the Hasselt University. 70 researchers and technical personnel perform molecular and cellular biomedical research. The research is focused on two main research domains: neuroinflammation and development of biosensors (in cooperation with the Institute for Material Research (IMO)).
Job description
The successful applicants will be involved in a research project entitled ‘New diagnostic and prognostic antibody biomarkers for multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA)’ of the Biomedical Research Institute (BIOMED) at Hasselt University. This project is aimed at identifying a panel of new molecular target antigens combined with existing target antigens selected on MS with diagnostic and prognostic potency by using technological platforms that allow for profiling the antibody reactivity to tissue antigens in these diseases. The first goal is aimed at identifying new serum markers for MS and RA by a systematic profiling of the humoral immune response using the powerful molecular SAS technology. A second goal is aimed at studying the functional relevance of the existing selected MS markers and new MS and RA serum markers in relation to disease by studying their expression in diseased tissue and by studying T cell reactivity to these antigens. A third goal is aimed at developing a high throughput and label free screening platform using phages expressing autoantigens or derived peptide fragments to efficiently validate candidate markers in a large number of patients.

Full-time PhD Studentship in Cell Biology, Faculty of Science, Department of Life Sciences
Three years from 1 January 2008, based in Milton Keynes
closing date : 19/11/2007
“The response of human brain endothelium and astrocytes to vasoactive mediators”, funded by the Migraine Trust.
The aim of the project is to determine how brain microvascular endothelial cells can modulate local blood flow, and contribute to the electrophysiological disturbances that underlie migraine aura. The work will use tissue culture systems to investigate the mediators released by brain endothelium. The effects of endothelin, nitric oxide and eicosanoids on the permeability of endothelium and the activation of astrocytes, will be examined in association with drugs that may be used in treating migraine.

2 PhD fellows schizophrenia project
University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Vacancy number: 207176/77
Job description
TOP Institute Pharma (TI Pharma) has granted our proposal to set up the mechanism-based PK-PD modeling platform. This platform focuses on the transfer of knowledge from academia to the pharmaceutical industry and is a collaborative effort of 4 academic partners and 6 industrial partners. Unique to this platform is the availability of shared databases.
The aim of the platform is to provide a scientific basis for rational drug discovery and development with a strong focus on priority medicines. Challenges are to predict disease progression, the effects of ageing, combined drug effects and to translate preclinical data to clinical data through the construction of mechanism-based PK/PD models. Existing anonimized (pre-) clinical data will be analyzed with advanced data analysis software tools such as NONMEM and S+ or R.
The translational research working group addresses cardiovascular safety and schizophrenia. Within the schizophrenia project we are looking for 2 PhD fellows.

Research Fellow
Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences
Up to £25,083
Implementing PAT for successful development of biopharmaceuticals in the UK.(led by GlaxoSmithKline).
This project, funded by the DTI Collaborative R&D Fund until 30 August 2009, involves a consortium led by GSK aiming to develop new efficient methods of speeding the manufacture of these revolutionary therapeutic agents. The research at Strathclyde focuses on the use of spectroscopic methods to monitor mammalian cell culture processes in situ under the direction of Professor Brian McNeil and Dr Linda Harvey. You will be expected to work closely with other consortium members in GSK, Liverpool and Newcastle Universities in the areas of cell culture, data processing, and modeling science. A background in biochemical engineering, industrial microbiology, or chemistry would be appropriate, and practical experience of lab scale mammalian cell culture in bioreactors a significant advantage.
