List of potential PhD advisors [MCB]

PhD Programme in Biomedical Sciences is a programme at the Doctoral School of Exact and Natural Sciences the Jagiellonian University in Krakow with a strong inter-disciplinary, international inter-sectoral research and training dimension.

We will recruit early stage researchers (ESRs) in an open call, targeting the most talented and motivated ESRs in the fields of Biological and Medical Sciences. The recruitment process will adhere to the guidelines set in the code of conduct for the recruitment of researchers and the European charter for researchers, ensuring transparency of the recruitment process based on the merit and skills of applicants. The recruitment process will not discriminate applicants based on their personal features.
Training will be focused on the interest and expertise of researchers working at the Malopolska Centre of Biotechnology (MCB), Jagiellonian Centre for Experimental Therapeutics (JCET) and National Synchrotron Radiation Centre (SOLARIS).
The program covers various areas of biology:

  • synthetic,
  • structural,
  • molecular,
  • cellular,
  • developmental

and utilizes plants, viruses, bacteria, invertebrates and vertebrates.
The program is also linked to interdisciplinary studies in endothelial biomedicine. 

Our Students offered a place in our PhD programme will obtain a full scholarship funded by the Polish government regardless of nationality.
The applicants are free to choose the research topic and supervisors from the focus areas based on their personal interests and qualifications. We encourage our students to get involved in the broad range of scientific activities of MCB, JCET and Solaris research groups. It is also an excellent opportunity to learn to think across disciplines and build up initial collaborations and cross-disciplinary skill sets.
The programme is run in English, either in a six-semester or in an eight-semester system.
During their studies, our students are expected to attend training courses in transferable and general research skills, participate in the students' and outreach activities, present their work regularly and attend seminars.

Cancer microenvironment studies using chemical imaging and machine learning / Nanoscale chemical imaging of selected biomedical samples (Supervisor: dr hab. Tomasz P. Wrobel)

Cancer microenvironment studies using chemical imaging and machine learning / Nanoscale chemical imaging of selected biomedical samples (Supervisor: dr hab. Tomasz P. Wrobel)

Project description

  1. Cancer microenvironment studies using chemical imaging and machine learning:
    This project focuses on the development of proper approaches with IR imaging as a tool for understanding the microenvironment of cancer. The aim is to create label-free, non-destructive and highly accurate comprehensive histopathological models of pancreatic and breast cancers using machine learning. IR imaging at the tissue level offers a wealth of information and proper processing is crucial for creating robust classification models, which can be relevant for the clinician. The specific goals will include FT-IR data acquisition on the newly built SOLAIR beamline, creation of machine learning models and optimization in terms of accuracy vs. robustness. 
     
  2. Nanoscale chemical imaging of selected biomedical samples:
    This project focuses on creating appropriate experimental approaches for biomedical sample preparation and measurements in the nanoscale. AFM based IR imaging is a new sub-field of IR imaging and presents new challenges for single cells or biomaterials characterization. This project will be primarily focused on developing a protocol for sample handling and measurements. Once this is established a series of cell lines representative of civilization diseases will be studied along with the effects of drugs. The specific goals will include AFM-IR data acquisition on the newly built SOLAIR beamline, cell cultures and data handling.
