Research Group
The research group of Cancer Genomics at MEB is headed by professor Henrik Grönberg and has a translational focus, with the goal to pursue clinically relevant research questions.
The division is currently conducting large studies in prostate cancer where genomic profiling is used to address tumor grading, prognostication at diagnosis and optimizing treatment in the metastatic setting. The research group is currently responsible for targeted sequencing in a clinical trial, where the tumor profile is used for randomization of colorectal cancer patients. During Q1 2018, the division will also enable live profiling of circulating tumor DNA in metastatic prostate cancer in a clinical trial setting. The Cancer Genomics group is part of a larger research environment with 20-25 persons focused on different aspects of prostate cancer.
Duties
The candidate bioinformatician will work within a core team consisting of four lab engineers, two currently employed bioinformaticians and one cancer researcher (Johan Lindberg) with a supervisory role. The currently employed bioinformaticians consists of one MSc performing routine analysis and one experienced PhD working with pipeline development in a cluster environment. The candidate will complement the current informatics staff by working with algorithmic development of in-house tools and the adaption of publically available software to the established analysis infrastructure. The team works in close collaboration with Clinical Genomics, ScilifeLab Stockholm and is partly located at SciLifeLab. Clinical Genomics hosts a larger team of bioinformaticians, working primarily with sequencing data from various diseases in translational projects.
