PhD or Post-Doc: Cancer Bioinformatics

The Laboratory for Disease Mechanisms in Cancer has a position for a motivated PhD student or postdoc interested in cancer bioinformatics, Center for Human Genetics - KU Leuven
Project
We recently discovered somatic mutations in the ribosome in T-cell leukemia. However, the extent to which somatic ribosome mutations are occurring in other cancer types, the mechaisms by which the ribosome defects we identified contribute to carcinogenesis and the therapeutic implications of our findings are currently unknown.
To find answers to these questions, we are employing high-throughput approaches including RNA sequencing, targeted resequencing, exome/genome resequencing and mass spectrometry. We are searching for a bioinformatician that can interact with the biologists in the group to make sense out of the large scale datasets that we are generating.
