Research Fellow – gene editing and cell-based therapy

About the position We invite applications for a 6‑month position in our project on cell-based therapy for inherited bleeding disorders. The position is part of an ongoing project funded by the Norwegian Research Council and affiliated with the Institute of Clinical Medicine, Division of Cancer Medicine, University of Oslo, with daily work based at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet. The research group has long-standing expertise in basic, translational and clinical research on blood coagulation factors and their role in disease. More about the position The project focuses on inherited factor VII (FVII) deficiency, a rare but serious bleeding disorder caused by mutations in the F7 gene, leading to markedly reduced FVII activity, and applies advanced technologies such as CRISPR-based gene editing, induced pluripotent stem cells and liver organoids to rescue the FVII expression in patient-derived cells. The position will support continued experimental work and data analysis within i
