- Polina Kameneva Group- full-time

Are you looking for a PhD project that will combine the cutting-edge human stem cells models, stem cell engineering and multi-omic approaches?
Here is your chance to contribute to science that makes a difference

Polina Kameneva just established her research group at the St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute (St. Anna CCRI) and currently recruits 2 PhD students interested in research on the intersection of developmental biology and cancer initiation for new projects funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) START grant and private foundation Paradifference.

There are several research projects that aim to investigate the onset of cancer transformation using the human stem cell models engineered to control the acquisition of mutational hits. The lab aims to engineer the cells for mutation initiation and with such tools to uncover what are the very early transformation of the gene regulatory networks in developing cells which reroute them for the normal differentiation path and turn them into the first cancer cells. The group aims to find and characterize the oncogenically vulnerable and resistant cellular states and look for ways to reduce the risk of pediatric cancer initiation.

Polina Kameneva has a strong background in the developmental biology of peripheral nervous systems and adrenal glands (Kameneva, Artemov et al., _Nat.Genet_, 2021; Kameneva, Artemov et al., _Cancer Cell_, 2021; Kameneva, Melnikova et al., _Nat.Com_, 2022). With this, the initial focus of the projects is going to be on the adrenal gland associated malignancies: pediatric neuroblastoma, and rare pediatric and adolescence tumors pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.
