Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)

FIMM is currently seeking a MSCA Doctoral Researcher for spatial multiplexed immunofluorescence profiling of metastases of different cancer types in a team led by Dr. Teijo Pellinen

We are seeking a highly motivated Doctoral Researcher for a fully funded, 4-year research position in multiplexed immunofluorescence profiling of metastases from various cancer types. This project, part of the Mac4Me consortium, involves advanced tissue imaging and computational analysis to study immune-tumor cell interactions in clinical samples, including brain, bone, and liver metastases. You will work closely with Genevia Technologies Oy (Finland) and The Norwegian Radium Hospital (Norway) to integrate imaging data with multi-omics datasets using cutting-edge AI tools.

This position is part of the European Union's Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network programme, which focuses on identifying new immunotherapy targets through innovative research on tumor-immune system interactions. The Mac4Me network provides a unique training environment, combining expertise from 18 academic and industry partners across Europe. Successful candidates will benefit from interdisciplinary training, research visits, and opportunities for skill development in fields ranging from systems biology to AI-driven cancer research.

For more information, visit: https://www.van-weerden-lab.com/about

Work tasks

As a Doctoral Researcher in Dr. Teijo Pellinen’s team, you will apply innovative multiplexed immunofluorescence technology to spatially profile cells and their interactions in intact tumor tissue sections. You will analyze imaging data to uncover clinically relevant patterns by linking the imaging results to patient health records using advanced computational methods. More information on Dr. Pellinen's work can be found here (Teijo Pellinen — University of Helsinki).

Key objectives of this PhD project include:


	Designing and constructing tissue microarrays (TMAs) with appropriate control tissues, including tumor tissues (prostate cancer, breast cancer, neuroblastoma), metastasis target tissues (bone, liver, brain), and tissues with high immune cell content (e.g., lymph node, appendix).
	Collecting and organizing clinical and pathological data associated with these tissue samples into a shared clinical database.
	Developing and optimizing antibody panels for multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry (mfIHC).
	Performing mfIHC on TMAs and analyzing the resulting high-resolution images for single-cell phenotyping.


Expected results

This project will provide crucial insights into immune cell behaviour within metastases from prostate cancer, breast cancer, and neuroblastoma. Through single-cell spatial imaging, you will identify the key immune cell subsets and their activation or inhibition states in clinical metastasis samples. The project will also reveal the interactions and proximities between immune cells and tumor cells, offering a deeper understanding of immune responses in metastatic environments.

The imaging data will be systematically indexed and integrated with clinical datasets. You will collaborate with partners from Genevia Technologies Oy and The Norwegian Radium Hospital to merge your results with additional multi-omics data. These analyses will contribute to identifying new immune targets and potential therapeutic approaches for cancer treatment.

The Doctoral Researcher will be based at the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM), University of Helsinki, and work within a vibrant multidisciplinary team embedded in the wider context of Dr. Olli Kallioniemi’s Precision Systems Medicine group at the University of Helsinki (Precision systems medicine | University of Helsinki).

Opportunities for professional development include attending relevant University of Helsinki courses, presenting your findings at national and international conferences, and conducting research visits to other partners in the Mac4Me Doctoral Network.
