[Ziv SHKEDY]

Dear,

Can you please forward and share this email with your e-mail list ? It is
about a new PhD project in DSI-UHasselt. Please CC Prof. Jurgen Claesen (
jurgen.claesen at uhasselt.be) on the email.

Thanks in advance, ziv shkedy &  Jurgen Claesen  .




*A 4 years full time PhD project in DSI, UHasselt & SCK-CEN.*

*Title: Integromics - Towards integration of big biomolecular data to
enable systems biology*

The last decades, development of high-throughput technologies such as
next-generation sequencing, microarrays and mass spectrometry has led to a
paradigm shift in biology and life sciences. Where previously one
biomolecule (for example, a gene, or a protein) was studied as a single
entity, these experimental techniques allow to study a set of biomolecules
(for example, the genome or the proteome) in one go and in a limited amount
of time. While, at first, experiments were analysed independently from each
other, combining information of several experimental techniques, and
correlating them with environmental and/or clinical parameters, is,
nowadays, of great interest. As a consequence, novel statistical and
computational methodologies for the analysis of multi-omics datasets have
to be developed, allowing a multi-dimensional view on complex biological
processes.

The PhD project is a joint project between CenStat, DSI and SCK•CEN (
https://www.sckcen.be/en). The thesis project is focused on methodologies
for the analysis of multi-omics datasets allowing a multi-dimensional view
on complex biological processes. In the current thesis project, we focus on
methods for the analysis of multi-omics datasets (gene expression,
proteomics etc), that are commonly generated by the three biology units of
SCK•CEN (https://www.sckcen.be/en), which will improve the understanding of
the biological data of interest. The datasets for the project are already
available and will be provided (with R program to read the data) at the
beginning of the project.

Starting date: during the second part of 2023.
Project duration: 4 years.

Student's profile: MSc in biostatistics/statistics/bioinformatics or
equivalent.

Supervision UHasselt: Prof. Ziv Shkedy (ziv.shkedy at uhasselt.be) and Prof.
Jurgen claesen  (jurgen.claesen at uhasselt.be).
Supervision SCK-CEN Dr. Surya Gupta (surya.gupta at sckcen.be).
