PhD student (OIO)/Postdoc
The Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI-AVL)
We have obtained a large number of MMTV induced mammary tumors from the Balb/c mouse strain, a p53 conditional knockout strain and ErbB2 transgenic strains. The mammary tumors are being screened for MMTV insertion sites and the putative oncogenes that are activated have already been identified while other may be identified in future experiments. An important aspect of the project is to confirm the transforming capacity of the candidate oncogenes and investigate how these genes collaborate in vivo using genetically modified mice.
Next, the regulatory pathways these oncogenes are acting in, will be studied using biochemical and cell biological techniques.

This research project is part of a project on integrated prevention in which not only CVD are studied, but also some cancer types, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer and lung cancer. In this project you will conduct research independently as part of a research group of other epidemiologists, mathematicians, modelers, economists, and medical doctors. You will also work closely with our national and international partners.
