Hi all, I have a vacancy for a PhD position with the title "Systems biology of metabolism for human health". The full description can be found at AcademicTransfer: https://www.academictransfer.com/employer/UM/vacancy/36534/lang/en/ "Health research uses large scale (omics) methods to study the state of an individual, organs, and increasingly tissues and even single cells. These methods can measure gene expression, epigenetics, and protein abundances. While great steps forward are made in these fields, a further omics approach is upcoming. Metabolomics methods complement the aforementioned methods, by studying the abundances of small molecular compounds in bodily fluids, tissue samples, breath, etc. Combining data for low molecular compounds with data for gene products will provide an insight in how personal genetics leads to disease related metabolic phenotypes. Changes in metabolism are relevant for many diseases, such as metabolic diseases, hereditary diseases, and cancers, and is also relevant in the symbiotic interaction of the gut microbiome and the (human) body. [...]" I am looking for someone who can write software, has data analysis skills, and knows a good deal of chemistry and biology. Sharing with M.Sc. students is very much appreciated!
