Candidate search for the competitive call Strategic Action in Health 2020 (Acción Estratégica en Salud). Miguel Servet Position.
Internal reference: 009/2020
Aim of the call:
The Maimonides Biomedical Research Institute of Cordoba (IMIBIC) is looking for an excellent candidate to apply for a Miguel Servet contract within the competitive call Strategic Action in Health 2020 (Acción Estratégica en Salud), of the National Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCIII).
Full information of the call can be found here (in Spanish): https://www.isciii.es/QueHacemos/Financiacion/solicitudes/_layouts/15/WopiFrame.aspx?sourcedoc=/QueHacemos/Financiacion/solicitudes/Documents/Convocatoria%20AES%202020/AES%202020.pdf&action=default
Description of the host group:
The candidate will join the research group GC08, “Hormones and Cancer (GC-08)” led by Dr. Justo P. Castaño. The GC08 is a consolidated group of the IMIBIC comprised by basic, translational, and clinical researchers. Research of this team is focused on the cellular and molecular principles underlying the natural processes of neuroendocrine-metabolic regulation and their dysfunctions in tumor diseases and cancer. In particular, this group investigates the molecular basis of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), pituitary tumors, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and other cancers, exploring the emerging pathophysiologic and oncogenic role of alternative splicing and of aberrant variants of neuropeptides and receptors. Earlier work of the team was focused on the regulation of pituitary cell types by neuropeptides (somatostatin, cortistatin, GHRH, ghrelin, kisspeptins), and in the molecular biology of these peptides, their receptors and signaling pathways under normal and pathological conditions. More recently, their work explores the presence and functional relevance of different types of neuropeptides and their receptors, and in particular of anomalous variants thereof, in NETs, pituitary tumors, and several cancers, particularly, pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In this context, the group discovered new truncated variants of somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (SST5 TMD4) and of ghrelin (In1-ghrelin), which are overexpressed in different types of tumors, and are analyzing the function of the splicing process and associated regulatory machineries in these pathologies.
