Subject area
Cancer genomics and bioinformatics
Subject area description
Clonal hematopoiesis, defined by driver genetic alterations in blood cells of healthy individuals, is associated with increased risk of blood cancer, mortality, and several diseases of ageing. Whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing data available from large genomic projects provide unprecedented sample size and opportunities to study clonal hematopoiesis and cancer development. Recently, we distinguished two groups of clonal hematopoiesis and stratified risk of blood cancer (Niroula et al., Nature Medicine 2021). Our projects are focused on understanding the mechanisms regulating clonal expansion of blood cells
Duties
In this project, you will develop computational methods and workflows to analyze genetic variants in whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing data. You will also work with multi-omic data integration. The workflows will be implemented in high-performance computing platform.
You will work closely with PhD students and other postdocs, and international collaborators.
The recruited candidate will be part of the DDLS program and will benefit from the national DDLS network.
