Development of an in vitro diagnostic triage test for
patients at risk of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer
based on protein biomarkers in cervical fluids VHIR is seeking an
outstanding and highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to apply
for a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship and join the
Biomedical Gynaecology Research Group. Marie Skłodowska-Curie
Actions – Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF) The Marie
Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF) are part of the
Horizon Europe programme and support postdoctoral researchers in
developing an original research and innovation project through
international mobility. The programme aims to strengthen
researchers’ careers through excellent science, international
collaboration and interdisciplinary experience, while fostering
integration in both academic and non-academic environments. The
MSCA-PF call is highly competitive and represents an excellent
opportunity to attract international talent and support researchers
in consolidating their scientific careers through an ambitious
mobility-based fellowship. The 2026 call closes on 09/09/2026
(17:00 Brussels time). For candidates applying to a European
Postdoctoral Fellowship, the fellowship duration is from 12 to 24
months . Full eligibility details: MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships
2026 Background Endometrial cancer (EC) is the fourth most common
cancer in women, and its incidence is increasing. Despite the
importance of early diagnosis for patient survival, there is no
accurate and non-invasive strategy for early triage or screening of
EC. Diagnosis relies on imaging and invasive biopsies, affecting
more than 35M women presenting symptoms -86% postmenopausal and 14%
premenopausal- and patients with hereditary risk -Lynch Syndrome-
who have annual surveillance. Only 10% of those will have EC.
Objective This project builds on our previous projects, and aims to
advance the development of a non-invasive triage test based on
protein biomarkers in
