The lab </span><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">today </span><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">consists of about 15 excellent Postdocs and PhD students. The </span><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">Phillipson group</span><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> is</span><span lang="EN" class="" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.1200008392334px; color: rgb(32, 33, 36);"> mainly focusing on revealing novel functions of immune cells, and to find means to control these functions during e.g. organ development, regulation of homeostasis, tissue regeneration, blood vessel formation and inflammation using intravital imaging, functional studies and multiomics approaches.</span><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"> Among the most important discoveries of the Phillipson group are the alternative roles of immune cells in restoration of blood perfusion following ischemic injury and transplantation, as well as during wound healing. Following their discoveries of how to regulate these immune cell functions, a spin-off company (Ilya Pharma) was founded to develop immunotherapies accelerating healing of wounds in skin and mucosa now in clinical phase 2. </span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 15px;"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><br class=""></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span class="" style="font-size: 14px;">The Phillipson lab is now looking for an experienced bioinformatician for analysing data coming from the lab, mainly single cell RNA-seq data but also bulk RNA-seq and metagenomics data. This person will also work on data mining of public databases. The official ad will be out in August, but we are sharing the information here now to attract talents already.
