<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black" lang="EN-US">A number of postdoc positions are available in the
Translational Disease Systems Biology group at The Novo Nordisk Foundation
Center for Protein Research (CPR – <a href="http://www.cpr.ku.dk">www.cpr.ku.dk</a>). The Center has been
established at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of
Copenhagen, to promote basic and applied discovery research on human proteins
of medical relevance. The Center comprises a wide range of expertise and
resources including proteomics, protein production, bioinformatics and general
characterization of disease mechanisms. The Programme for Disease Systems
Biology consists of two research groups covering many systems level aspects of
biology and medicine, including the integration of molecular-level data and
healthcare data, for example laboratory test data and biomedical texts. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black" lang="EN-US"><br></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black" lang="EN-US">The Translational Disease Systems Biology group
(<a href="http://www.cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems-biology/brunak/">www.cpr.ku.dk/research/disease-systems-biology/brunak/</a>) led by Søren Brunak
focuses on establishing early competitive advantage in disease-relevant
computational analysis across the general areas of bioinformatics,
chemoinformatics, systems biology and medical informatics. The PhD students
will work on data-driven models of temporal disease development (diabetes,
other immune system related disorders, comorbidities in general) using a
combination of molecular data and data from the healthcare sector, where the
latter has the form of registry data or complete electronic patient records.
These models will in part be descriptive and show how different diseases and
diagnosis follow each other over long periods of time and in part predictive in
the sense that longitudinal patterns of illnesses, medication and procedures
will indicate future events. The models may be augmented by molecular level
biomarker data from genomics or proteomics further increasing the predictive
power.</span></p>
