Filed under: Belgium Fellowships, Belgium Postdoctoral, Belgium Scholarships, PhD Scholarships

Postdoctoral positions in systems neuroscience funded by VIB, Imec and K.U. Leuven at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders in Leuven in Belgium

Eligibility:
You have (or are about to obtain) a PhD in the biological, physical or behavioral sciences or in a relevant field. You have significant research experience in systems, cellular or molecular neuroscience. You have strong experimental skills, experience with in vitro or in vivo electrophysiology, mouse genetics, or imaging, and have excellent scientific communication skills. You have strong quantitative and technical skills, are able to tinker with complex instruments and software, and are fluent in MATLAB and one additional programming language. You feel comfortable designing your own research and have a record of working independently, as well as within a team, towards established goals.

Postdoctoral positions in systems neuroscience available starting October 2011 in the laboratory of Vincent Bonin at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders in Leuven, Belgium, (NERF, www.nerf.be) with support from VIB, imec and K.U. Leuven. The purpose of the Bonin lab is to understand the network computations and biological mechanisms that underlie visual processing in the mammalian brain. We use a combination of large-scale neural recordings (two-photon calcium imaging, millimeter scale imaging, silicon probes), neural stimulation, and computational modeling to probe large populations of neurons in the visual system of awake, behaving mice. We study how different components of the neural circuit underlie specific sensory computations, and how these computations are tailored to the animal’s visual environment and behavioral goals. The successful candidates will apply electrophysiological and advanced imaging techniques to study the visual cortical circuit in awake, behaving mice. They will have access to state-of-the-art tools and facilities, a rich training environment, and the possibility to collaborate with other groups within NERF, VIB, IMEC and K.U. Leuven.

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences announce PhD Position in Evans blue as a diagnostic tool for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer at Katholieke University Leuven , Belgium

Study Subject(s): Evans blue as a diagnostic tool for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer
Course Level: PhD
Scholarship Provider: Katholieke University Leuven , Belgium
Scholarship can be taken at: Belgium

Eligibility:
Applicants must hold a master’s degree before the start of the fellowship, but not necessarily when applying.

We recently found that Evans blue, a water-soluble diazo dye with intense blue colour, accumulates specifically in vitro in spheroids composed of urothelial cell carcinoma cells and in vivo in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in a AY-27 rat model. Our data also strongly point to the accumulation ofEvans blue in the paracellular space secondary to a relative lack of intercellular cohesion between malignant cells. We believe therefore that our present findings on Evans blue are important for future clinical developments in the field of diagnostics for bladder cancer detection, staging and grading, and for interstitial cystitis (ICS) involving white-light cystoscopy. Anticipating its clinical use, it is essential to understand its mechanism of action and to optimize its use in relevant preclinical animal models. To that end the accumulation of Evans blue will be examined in vitro in multicellular spheroids prepared from normal human urothelial (NHU) cells and ICS cells isolated from patients, and prepared from different human urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) cell lines. The spheroids will also be examined on their gene- and protein-expression signatures, focusing on cell-cell adhesion proteins and the GAG-layer, and ultrastructurally by transmission and scanning electron microsocopy. Furthermore, the in vivo biodistribution ofEvans blue will be examined in the different layers (urothelium, submucosa, muscle) of a normal rat bladder and of an UCC orthotopic AY-27 rat bladder tumor model, and in the different layers of a normal cat bladder and of a cat interstitial cystitis bladder model, after intravesical instillation. Also the therapeutic effect of radiolabeledEvans blue (and its selectivity) will be investigated in vitro using the above-mentioned spheroids prepared from NHU cells and different human UCC cell lines, and in vivo using a normal rat bladder and an UCC orthotopic rat bladder tumor model.
