The position
The Autophagy Research Group at the Department of Medical Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences, UiT The Arctic University of
The project is led by Associate Professor Viola Nähse, whose research focuses on selective autophagy, particularly the molecular mechanisms governing phagophore formation at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The group is especially interested in understanding how omegasomes—specialized PI3P-rich ER subdomains—control early autophagosome biogenesis and contribute to cargo selectivity.
