by Hanka.Venselaar＠radboudumc.nl 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Dear all, we would like to draw your attention to this vacancin our structural bioinformatics group at Radboudumc Nijmegen. Full tekst and details can be foud here: https://www.radboudumc.nl/en/vacancies/89341-postdoc-diagnostics-in-3d GRTZ from Nijmegen, Hanka "Job description The increasing pace at which genomes are being sequenced and at which protein 3D structures are being solved opens the possibilities to predict the effect of mutations on the functioning of a protein at an unprecedented scale. Furthermore, advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) allow us to efficiently exploit that information to make reliable predictions about disease causing mutations. Such predictions can be applied in diagnostics, solving the many variants in patients' genomes for which we do not know whether they are responsible for disease. The project, named Diagnostics-in-3D, will therewith have a significant impact on diagnosis of (rare disease) patients. Your role in this project is to investigate how to optimally exploit protein 3D structure information in an AI framework that discriminates between benign and damaging mutations in human genomes. For that you will use our protein 3D modeling project HOPE, our deep learning platform for 3D protein structures DeepRank and our expertise in deep learning approaches to protein structures, comparative genomics and diagnostic classifiers. You will be working with a scientific programmer to turn your solutions into professional software. You will furthermore be collaborating with two companies, one from which you will to obtain relevant 3D data and sequence alignments and one with which we will implement parallel/distributed CPU/GPU computing solutions for this data and computation intensive project. Your job thus entices both scientific research into the effect of protein 3D structures and regular communication with the scientific and industrial partners. Tasks and responsibilities Obtain relevant data and find the best representation of 3D structure data for deep learning. Modeling effects of mutations on protein 3D structure. Extend DeepRank to work with single protein structures. Developing and training classifiers using DeepRank to predict the effect of mutations on protein function. Communicate with a scientific programmer about implementation of software. Reporting your results in the form of publications and presentation. Profile You either have a PhD in computational structural biology, with a strong computational background in modeling and interpreting 3D structures, or you have a PhD in machine learning and AI with a proven interest in protein 3D structures and biochemistry.

PhD Candidate Tumor Heterogeneity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
by Erik van den Akker 02 Nov '20

02 Nov '20

THE POSITION We are looking for a highly motivated candidate for a PhD project in Computational Oncology at the department of Biomedical Data Sciences. This project focusses on modelling tumor heterogeneity and discerning drivers of clonal evolution and therapy resistance by analyzing single-cell data on material derived from patients with acute myeloid leukemia. IN SHORT • You will work on integrative computational methods to discern, characterize and trace different clonal lines present within tumors • You will work in a multi-disciplinary environment ranging from data science to translational oncology within the recently established Leiden Center for Computational Oncology • You will disseminate your work by writing scientific manuscripts and presenting your research at international conferences. The combination of this work will lead to a PhD title WHAT YOU WILL DO Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the myeloid immune lineage and represents about 1.2% of all new cancer cases. AML typically affects elderly patients, with only 5-15% of the patients above age 60 achieving a durable remission. Promising treatments are steadily released, with yet unknown resistance mechanisms. Hence, within this project, you will conduct integrative analyses using various types of single-cell molecular data sources to identify mechanisms driving clonal evolution and therapy resistance. Within the newly established Leiden Center for Computational Oncology, acute myeloid leukemia was chosen as one of the projects to spearhead the development of novel computational tools that provide more insight into tumor heterogeneity and tumor evolution under therapeutic pressure. The activities of the PhD candidate are purely computational and will be embedded within the Leiden Computational Biology Center (prof. M. Reinders), and the department of Hematology (prof. H. Veelken, MD). WHAT WE ASK You hold a MSc degree in Bioinformatics, Statistics, Life Sciences, or a similar area. You possess a strong background in data analytics, have hands-on experience with applying machine learning methods, and you are familiar with scripting languages such as R or Python. Knowledge of genetic analyzation and transcriptomic studies are favored but not required. You enjoy the pursuit of knowledge across multiple field, and you have an optimistic and kind nature. INTERESTED? Please send your CV and motivation letter (deadline November 15th) to: https://lumc.recruitee.com/l/en/o/phd-candidate-tumor-heterogeneity-in-acut… Kind regards, Erik van den Akker Leiden University Medical Centre Molecular Epidemiology <http://www.molepi.nl/en/people/people_item/t/erik_van_den_akker> Einthovenweg 20, 2333 ZC, Leiden, The Netherlands Building 2 [Research], Room S5-38 tel: +31 (0)71 526 85 57 Delft University of Technology Delft Bioinformatics Lab <https://www.tudelft.nl/ewi/over-de-faculteit/afdelingen/intelligent-systems…> Van Mourik Broekmanweg 6, 2628 XE, Delft, The Netherlands Building 28 [WI], Room W5.820 tel: +31 (0)15 278 55 17

PhD Candidate Patient Sub-stratification in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
by Erik van den Akker 02 Nov '20

02 Nov '20

THE POSITION We are looking for a highly motivated candidate for a PhD project in Computational Oncology at the department of Biomedical Data Sciences. This project focuses on the integrative analysis of multiple types of omics data to improve diagnosis, prognosis and predicted treatment outcomes of patients with acute myeloid leukemia. IN SHORT • You will work on the deep molecular characterization of acute myeloid leukemia, to identify clinically relevant sub-entities of the disease, actionable determinants of treatment resistance and potential targets for immuno-therapy • You will work in a multi-disciplinary environment ranging from data science to translational oncology within the recently established Leiden Center for Computational Oncology • You will disseminate your work by writing scientific manuscripts and presenting your research at international conferences. The combination of this work will lead to a PhD title WHAT YOU WILL DO Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the myeloid blood lineage that typically affects elderly patients. Current efforts for a personalized prognosis and treatment focus on the detection of just a few genetic aberrations, thereby ignoring the overwhelming evidence that AML is mostly driven by epigenetic and metabolic factors. Within the newly established Leiden Center for Computational Oncology, acute myeloid leukemia was chosen as one of the projects to spearhead the development of novel computational tools that support personalized medicine beyond the 'one-mutation one-drug' paradigm. Hence, within this project, you will be employing molecular data created from clinical material to capture multiple regulatory levels (genetics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics) to improve patient stratification, prediction of treatment responses and identification of novel therapeutic targets. The activities of the PhD candidate are purely computational and will be embedded within the Leiden Computational Biology Center (prof. M. Reinders), and the department of Hematology (prof. H. Veelken MD). WHAT WE ASK You hold a MSc degree in Bioinformatics, Statistics, Life Sciences, or a similar area. You possess a strong background in data analytics, have hands-on experience with applying machine learning methods, and you are familiar with scripting languages such as R or Python. Knowledge of genetic analysis and transcriptomic studies are favored but not required. You enjoy the pursuit of knowledge across multiple fields, and you have an optimistic and kind nature. INTERESTED?
