Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?
We are looking for a bioinformatician that will work with cancer genomics data in the ProBio trial (
https://www. probiotrial.org). ProBio is a prospective clinical trial investigating if treatment choices based on a biomarker signature can improve outcomes in patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. The biomarker signature is identified by performing targeted sequencing of DNA from dying cancer cells enriched from plasma. ProBio is currently running in Sweden and Belgium and will expand to other European countries during 2020.
The Cancer Genomics team at MEB, which is part of Henrik Grönberg's research group, is performing prospective genomic profiling for ProBio and multiple other prospective clinical trials including the ALASCCA trial (
https://ki.se/mmk/alascca-studien). The Cancer Genomics team is headed by Senior Researcher Johan Lindberg and consists of one postdoc, three bioinformaticians and three lab engineers.
