Second edition - Biennale 2025
The Biennale 2025 marks the successful continuation and expansion of the groundbreaking 2023 edition, where science and art first joined to form a powerful platform for interdisciplinary dialogue. This year’s theme, Cycle of Health and Cancer, builds on past achievements by deepening public understanding and scientific exploration of the biological processes that govern health, disease, and recovery.

PhD position on the role of ribosomal protein defects in cancer pathogenesis
The laboratory for Disease Mechanisms in Cancer (KU Leuven, Belgium, www.LDMC.be) is looking for a motivated PhD researcher. Whereas a lot of research on disease biology and cancer has focused on dysregulated gene expression at the level of transcription, our lab has built up a strong research track on disease mechanisms due to defective protein translation, for instance by mutations in ribosomal proteins. You can apply for this job no later than July 31, 2025.
