Dear colleagues,
We are proposing a PhD position related to the bioinformatic analysis of common and Mendelian diseases. The objective of this PhD project is to investigate the shared architecture between Mendelian and common diseases both at the phenotypic and molecular levels by identifying subnetworks enriched in mutations and variations. As a consequence, this approach will also help predicting the relevant variations (SNPs, eQTLs) implicated in common polygenic diseases, or acting as modifier to modulate Mendelian diseases.
Details of the project and host labs can be found here: http://centuri-livingsystems.org/phd2018-12/
This PhD project is part of the PhD Programme of the Turing Centre for Living Systems (CENTURI). The deadline of application is: February 15, 2019 and the application procedure is explained here: http://centuri-livingsystems.org/recruitment
The PhD student should have a Master’s degree in an area related to Bioinformatics, Computer Science or Mathematics with interest for data analysis, graph theory and human genetics.
Sincerely,
Aitor Gonzalez & Anaïs Baudot
