Postdoc in in Cancer Bioinformatics in the Porse Group at the Finsen Laboratory/BRIC

jobbeskrivelse:
Postdoc in in Cancer Bioinformatics in the Porse Group at the Finsen Laboratory/BRIC Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen

An exciting position in cancer bioinformatics with focus on both normal and malignant hematopoiesis as well as cancer stem cell models is available in the Porse Group, at the Finsen Laboratory/Biotech Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC)/DanStem at the University of Copenhagen. The position is initially for two years and can be filled immediately.

We are looking for a PhD level computational biologist with a strong quantitative background. In our group, we seek to answer fundamental questions in cancer biology using diverse set of omics data (RNA-seq, single cell RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, proteomics, etc) and have an expertise in generating and integrating the analysis of these datasets.
Information about BRIC and Danstem can be found at http://www.bric.ku.dk and http://www.danstem.ku.dk

Our research
Several cancers, including acute myeloid leukemias (AML), are maintained by Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs). Similar to normal stem cells, CSCs are able to self-renew and are thus the cells that need to be targeted in order to efficiently eradicate the disease. The focus of the Porse group is therefore to study cancer from a stem-cell centric viewpoint. Specifically, we want to understand how various factors, such as histone modifications, DNA methylation, transcription factor binding and RNA splicing governs precise regulation of gene expression in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. In this respect, we also use cutting-edge single-cell technologies to unravel the differences in normal and cancer stem cells at single cell resolution. With these studies, we aim to identify novel targets for future therapeutic intervention in patients suffering from AML.
