Vacancy: Bio-Informatician Postdoctoral Cancer Researcher @ TOBI Lab (CRIG - UGent - VIB)

The Translational Onco-genomics and Bio-Informatics lab (TOBI-lab), headed by Prof. Katleen De Preter, at the VIB-UGent is seeking a postdoctoral bio-informatician to advance the liquid biopsy research in the team.

An important aim in TOBI is the development of novel assays for diagnosis and monitoring cancer patients in a minimally invasive way through analysis of circulating molecules in blood and other biofluids. Bioinformatic pipeline development is an indispensable aspect of this research line.  The candidate will focus on the development, optimization and application of multi-modal analysis strategies and pipelines for sequencing data generated on nucleic acids isolated from biofluids (genomics, epigenomics including fragmentomics, methylomics, etc). In addition, results will be compared and integrated with bulk and single-cell/spatial data obtained on matching tumor cells.
