[BBC] PhD scholarship in Machine Learning for Precision Oncology

[Pedro Ballester]

Dear colleagues,

 

We are looking for a PhD student in Machine Learning for Precision Oncology.

 

This project will address the question of how to leverage clinical data to
improve our ability to predict which cancer patients will respond to a drug
treatment. The CONSORE project within IPC has completed the structuration of
electronic health records from clinical practice. As a result, we now count
with a large volume of structured data from the IPC (currently 258,168
patient records). The successful candidate will investigate and implement
predictive models exploiting these data resources. This includes the
application of suitable machine learning techniques to reduce the
dimensionality of data in building these in silico models. Other project
components are mining public and in-house clinical data as well as research
on optimal ways to use model predictions to support clinical decision-making
and assess uncertainty.

 

Application details and further information is available at

Thanks in advance for forwarding this email to possible candidates.

 

Best wishes,

 

Pedro
