PhD Positions and Postdoc Fellowships, Heidelberg, Germany

September 5, 2008

PhD Positions and Postdoc fellowships (Heidelberg, Germany): We are interested how cytoskeletal dynamics control cell invasion and transcription. In particular we study regulatory interactions with the actin assemblying Diaphanous Formins to dissect their specific functions and physiological roles in various cell motility processes such as cancer cell invasion and polarized cell movement. Additionally, most Formins govern transcriptional activities through their effects on actin dynamics. We would like to understand the synergistic link between Formin-induced cytoskeletal dynamics and transcriptional output important for cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

I am research asistant in Department of Basic
Oncology, Oncology Institute,Istanbul
University,Istanbul,Turkey. And Im a doctorate student
of cancer genetic programme. I have been studying about
angiogenetic factors, quantitative gene expression,
polymorphisms, PAGE, ELISA etc.. I usually work with
patients with renal cell carcinoma and prostate
cancer, breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

I would like to work with you in your
research programme. If it is
possible I will be very happy.
My doctorate programme will have been probably
finished in a few months.Would you mind If you answer me about this . I will be very pleasure.

Best regards,
