**Job Description**
This role involves joining a collaborative research program within the VIB-Center for Inflammation Research, specifically with the Guilliams and Saelens teams. The project focuses on applying in vivo CRISPR screens to study the functional specialization of macrophages during liver metastasis, supported by a Foundation against Cancer grant (2025-2030). The research will unravel causal circuits driving the development and functional specialization of immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), focusing on their crosstalk with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and the effects of macrophage perturbations on stromal cells. The work utilizes state-of-the-art in vivo perturbational technologies and advanced computational modeling within an interdisciplinary team.
