Post-Doc in Biochemistry or Biological Sciences in Dijon, France

The INSERM U866 Research Centre “Lipids, Nutrition, Cancer”

has an open position for

a Post-Doc

(PhD in Biochemistry or Biological Sciences)

For a transversal project in the INSERM Research Centre to improve the outcome

of cancer therapy by testing new potential treatments against human tumors (colon,

and breast cancer) with high level of efficacy and low toxicity.



Despite aggressive therapies, resistance of many tumors to established treatment

procedures still constitutes a major problem in cancer therapy. For example, the

therapeutic strategy of colorectal cancer is mainly based on surgery and a palliative

chemotherapy with 5-FU/folinic acid associated with Irinotecan.



However this strategy is not very successful, mainly due to establishment of a strong

resistance of cancer cells against the cytotoxic drugs, and to metastatic invasion.

The overall aim of the proposed transversal project in the INSERM U866 Unit “Lipids,

Nutrition, Cancer” is to evaluate: 1) the effect of polyphenols and new chemicals

analogues on the tumor cell plasma membrane, 2) and to determine novel cellular targets

in the cellular lipid metabolism which is implicated in the chemotherapeutic response and

in the Multi-Drug Resistance.



Disciplines: Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology



This project is part of a large scale program involving several teams in the INSERM Unit

Beside basis support from INSERM and French Ministery of research, this program is

supported by the “Conseil Régional de Bourgogne”, the vitivinicultural sector, the NACre

(Nutrition-Food Cancer research) network, the “Cancer League” (Côte d'Or committee) and

INCa (National Cancer Institute and Easter France Cancer cluster).



This position will be available in September-October 2010

and offers a competitive salary (2,500 euros per month).

Way 1 : from Blok M change the bus in Dukuh Atas bus stop to the bus towards Pulogadung, then take a bus in Pramuka bus stop towards Ancol, this bus pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. The closest bus stop (Budi Utomo) is about 800 meters from Gedung Balai .
Way 2 : From Blok M take the bus in the Harmoni Bus Stop, the bus towards Pulogadung, get down in Senen Bus Stop and walk about 800 meters, or from this bus stop take the bus towards Ancol and get down as mentioned in way 1. About the distance, this two bus stops is about the same. (It is better if you take ojek or bajaj from this bus stop to Gedung Balai Pustaka)

3. If you take taxi with old tariff (TL=Tarif Lama) from blok M with no traffic jam is about Rp. 30.000,00.

4. From Blok M use bus Patas AC 76. Gedung Balai Pustaka is in the right side, after you pass through Depag, and say to conductor "Balai Pustaka"

5. Use a busway from Blok M towards Kota, get down in Sawah Besar bus stop. From here take a Mikrolet M12 towards Senen. After cross road Wahidin and before senen get down and cross the street.
