PhD student for a computational breast cancer research project

The recently established research group “Bioinformatics in Cancer Research” at Medical University of Graz is seeking for students (PhD/Master/interns) with an interest in computational cancer research. Candidates may have any background such as bioinformatics/biology/medicine/mathematics/computer science/etc.

We are aiming at developing novel computational approaches for cancer research with a major focus on characterizing the molecular background of tumors across different omics levels and its evolution under therapy. We want to learn about mechanisms of treatment resistance and/or cancer recurrence and to stratify personalized treatment options. Our projects are motivated by actual clinical research questions and we work in a highly interactive environment with very close contact to clinicians and wet-lab researchers.

In particular, we are currently seeking for a PhD student for a computational breast cancer research project starting ASAP. The project is about delineating the molecular mechanisms of treatment response in metastatic and early-stage breast cancer patients treated within global clinical trials (with a focus on DNA- and RNAseq).

Interested candidates can directly contact sebastian.vosberg [at] medunigraz.at.
