Postdoctoral Research Assistant For The Digital Genomics Group
hace 1 mes
Descripción We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc to develop innovative computational methods to analyze mutational signatures and tumor evolution using human cancer sequencing data.
In the newly formed Digital Genomics lab (PI: Marcos Díaz-Gay), we are in the pursuit of understanding better the mechanisms behind the accumulation of genomic alterations in human tumors to benefit cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment selection.
By analyzing mutational patterns in tumors, we can identify the mutational processes active during the tumorigenesis process.
Thus, specific patterns of mutations, known as mutational signatures, are generated by different environmental (e.g., ultraviolet light exposure), lifestyle (e.g., tobacco smoking), and endogenous processes (e.g., defective DNA repair mechanisms).
Mutational signatures can be extracted from next-generation sequencing (NGS) data using machine learning artificial intelligence (AI) approaches and assigned to individual tumors for patient-level analyses, as previously shown (Islam & Díaz-Gay et al.
2022 Cell Genomics, Senkin et al.
2024 Nature).
Using publicly available NGS data, as well as leveraging our national and international collaborations, we have the opportunity to apply these AI approaches in a cohort of >20,000 whole-genome sequenced tumors, with patients collected across >30 countries, four continents, and multiple tumor types.
We are seeking an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to develop innovative computational methods to further characterize mutational signatures in human cancer, with the goal of precisely mapping the genomic fingerprint of epidemiological factors and molecular alterations contributing to the risk of developing cancer.
The diverse cohort collected will also allow the elucidation of population and sex-specific differences across cancers originating from geographical regions with distinct incidence and mortality rates.
As the lab is in its founding stage, this position offers the chance to make a foundational impact and help shape a collaborative and dynamic team, fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment.
