[SocBiN] PhD fellowship in Systems Biology

[Betina Wingreen]

Dear Colleague,

 

We have an open PhD position in Systems Biology and are looking for a person
to join our team from January 2015. The position is for three years. The
application deadline is 2015-09-21.

Background:

The use of model animals, such as mouse, pig and monkey is essential in the
development of both treatments of human diseases as well as test of drugs.
Obviously, it is important that genes and gene networks are as similar to
human as possible for the specific disease in question. In spite of the many
efforts, no systematic effort has been made to match which animal model is
the most suitable in a given disease context.

Job description: 

Methods to search for various degrees of conservation between human and
model animals with respect to a range of features will be developed. These
will include pathways, gene conservation and gene expression and in all
cases include coding as well as non-coding and RNA structured genes and
regulatory elements. Adding layers such as disease and tissue associations
data for the individual model animals will be compared with human to search
for which animal is the best match in a given disease to the corresponding
data from human. Thus, the work spans broadly and also involve processing
high-throughput data and implementing efficient computational methods for
the comparisons.
