University of Copenhagen
Our research/The group
The focus of our research is translational medicine in primary human liver and biliary tract cancers with emphasis on genome-wide and high-throughput techniques in the characterization of tumor heterogeneity, prognostic and predictive biomarker discovery and drug response to aid novel therapeutics and clinical efficacy. It is our goal to improve diagnosis, clinical decision-making and ultimately patient outcome through translational and pharmacogenomics discoveries. This is facilitated in our Group via interdisciplinary research (molecular biology, medicine and bioinformatics) as well as a strong national and international network of scientific and clinical collaborators.
Project/The research project(s)
The successful candidate will join a research group that utilizes genome-wide technologies, including genomic and epigenomic profiling, NGS and single-cell genomics as well as approaches in 3D cell culturing and xenograft transplantations. We use genomics-driven strategies to characterize and classify patient subgroups to identify oncogenic drivers and addiction networks with the aim of improving diagnostics and treatment. We unite research directly on patient samples and clinical data with basic molecular in vitro and in vivo models.
A requirement for this position is a strong track record either in Hepatology (e.g., cellular and molecular biology, CRISPR/cas9, biochemistry and experience in developing and analyzing RNA- and ChIP-seq data). Emphasis will be given to a candidate with a proven background within cholangiocarcinoma research.
Start: 1 September 2023 or after agreement
Duration: 1 years
Qualifications
We expect you to be a highly motivated and highly ambitious scientist with the following qualifications:
- A PhD in Hepatology with experience in life sciences
- Documented experience in Molecular biology and NGS
- Previous experience in e.g., CRISPR/cas9, biochemistry
