We are looking for committed people with enthusiasm for biomedical research!
TRON gGmbH – Translational Oncology at the Medical Center of the University Mainz – is a non-university, biopharmaceutical research institute in the legal form of a non-profit organization. The company’s aim is to develop highly innovative technologies to address medical needs in the fields of cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. TRON was founded in Mainz in 2010 and works in close cooperation with universities and clinics as well as with regional, national and international research institutions and companies in the pharmaceutical industry.
As part of our team, you have the opportunity to work with talented and dedicated colleagues, to develop and expand your professional experience, and to be at the cutting-edge of translational science to improve patient lives.
TRON is currently expanding its multidisciplinary Computational Medicine Unit with exceptional experience in next generation sequencing data analysis and immuno-informatics. One of our projects focuses on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). CtDNA is fragmented DNA derived from tumors and circulates in the bloodstream. Analyzing ctDNA enables early cancer detection, molecular profiling, treatment monitoring and to study tumor evolution. A key challenge is the sensitive computational identification of tumor specific mutations from sequencing data of plasma samples. In order to enlarge our technological knowledge and expertise, we are searching for a
PhD student „Computational biology of ctDNA“ (m/f/d)
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
· Design efficient sequencing and analysis strategies for ctDNA
· Implement best-in-class software solutions for highly accurate data analysis
· Design experiments for confirmation of computed findings
· Analyze time series data from clinical studies
· Tight interaction with genomics and molecular biology teams
QUALIFICATION AND EXPERIENCE
· Master-level education in bioinformatics, computer science or a related field
· Deep understanding of cancer biology and immunology is a plus
Any experience in NGS data analysis and programming as well as in in machine learning completes your profile.
If you are a self-starter who loves working effectively in an agile start-up environment, and besides if you do have strong visual, verbal and written communication skills, you will feel well and home at TRON and within your task.
