Project Offers
IBG works in several ways to stimulate students themselves to create, develop and maintain relevant contacts with work-life. One part of this effort is to help you as a student to find suitable projects for research internships, degree projects, PhD positions, etc. In the project database we publish project offers from academia, corporations and government agencies. We sometimes also announce different career promoting events of a more general nature. The sub page "Want to know more?" below also has permanent links to external resources that may be valuable to help find additional projects.
Scroll down to see all the present projects!
Some projects are described in English; others in Swedish. The current offers are listed below. Older, archived offers can be found via the link on the right.
We also collaborate with EIT Health, an extensive EU spanning network aimed at technology, innovation and entrepreneurship within different parts of the health sector, as well as at active ageing. EIT Health at Uppsala university continually arrange various courses and events of interest to you as a student, but they are also able to lend support if you have specific innovative ideas that you want to substantiate and develop.

Improved clinical imaging of head and neck cancers - Degree project at KI
CD44v6 is an antigen overexpressed in squamous cell carcinomas, especially in the head & neck region. Previously several targeting molecules towards this antigen have been assessed for molecular imaging using PET (Positron emission tomography) with promising results. Recently, two scFv’s (single chain fragments) towards CD44v6 were selected and affinity maturated in a collaboration between UU, KI and KTH, demonstrating the best properties for molecular imaging that has been achieved so far. The group now wants to take this project further by optimizing and evaluating the top candidate for potential in molecular imaging of squamous cell carcinoma. This degree project may allow you to take part in and contribute to this important work.

Degree projects / research trainings on epigenetics evolution
Epigenetic inheritance is common, but whether it is adaptive is still not known. The Lind lab. has just finished a long (100+ generations) experimental evolution experiment in environments predicted to select for or against epigenetic inheritance, and several projects are now available to investigate the evolution of epigenetic inheritance and its evolutionary dynamics. The lab. works with the nematode Caenorhabditis remanei as a model system and thanks to its short generation time (3-4 days) it is very suitable for collecting robust data even within the timeframe of a typical student project.

Master level thesis at GE Healthcare, on analytical methods for recombinant mAb´s
Product heterogeneity is common in recombinant mAb production and it is typically introduced either upstream during expression or downstream during purification. Variants are aggregates, deamidation products, glycosylation variants, etc. Even small structural differences can affect preclinical stability, process optimization as well as the therapeutic potency, bioavailability and immunogenicity of the product. In this very attractive degree project you will build a mAb characterization toolbox using many different high resolution analytical techniques in order to fully characterize and compare mAbs during expression and purification.

Master degree project on NMR studies of membrane proteins
Membrane proteins are not easy, often even notoriously hard, to study in isolation. Artificial systems for doing it are also not ideal since the surrounding membrane is different from the natural one. In this project however, the aim is to study the structure and function of membrane proteins in native membrane vesicles, by using NMR.

Four Master’s projects in comparative genomics in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi
Here are flexible opportunities within molecular ecology and evolution, focusing on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi that are organisms in symbiosis with 90% of present day land plants. It is believed that they have maintained such interactions for at least 450 MY, coinciding with the colonization from water to land by plants. This makes them key organisms for studies on evolution. Because of the difficulties in culturing, little is known about their genomic organization but the lab has developed novel methods to sequence them, using single nuclei sorted directly from spores. Check out possible projects further in the pdf below!
