To that end our laboratory uses RNAi-based screening approaches. Briefly, it consists in high throughput and high content analysis, of the phenotypic consequences of gene or microRNA depletion at single cell level. This leads to a list of genes / microRNAs implicated in the phenotype of interest (e.g. cell death of prostate cancer cells). MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs (around 20 bases) which are important gene regulators in cells (human, animals, plants, etc.). Discovered in the 90s, more than a thousand human microRNAs are listed; however, their functions remain largely unknown. Our laboratory has developed a network based approach (biostatistics with R software, graph theory) to investigate microRNAs at a system level (that is considering all microRNAs). Thanks to this approach, we already identified 3 microRNAs implicated in cancer (Bhajun et al., Scientific Reports, 2015). The goal of the proposed PhD thesis is to investigate the role of microRNAs with a system biology approach, in particular in the case of prostate cancer. The PhD student will integrate our high content screening data, and available data bases (data mining) to further identify microRNA implication in prostate cancer. The work, realized in the bioinformatics team of a biological lab (where the data are generated), will be in collaboration with the center of bioinformatics in Mines ParisTech. It will be codirected by a biologist, a statistician, and co-supervised by a biostatistician.

The aim of the satellite symposium is to bring aspiring PhD students from the broad cancer research field together. We seek to create an inspiring meeting to enable an exchange of ideas and provide a platform for project discussions for those who are in an early step in their research career. The satellite symposium is initiated by graduate students from the Berlin School of Integrative Oncology (http://www.bsio-cancerschool.de/) >From young scientists for young scientists Given a dense time schedule studded with numerous of high profile senior scientists from the field, major conferences like the "in Cancer" meeting are only able to provide a limited number of slots for PhD students. Poster sessions are a well received complement to enable PhD students to discuss their work outside their working groups. Taking the involvement of PhD students a step further, the satellite meeting for young scientists in cancer research now encourages 10 junior researchers to communicate their projects and to share their progress in an oral presentation to a broader audience. The symposium aims to provide a friendly environment with other young fellow scientists and interested participants of the main conference and to help young researchers grow their professional network. Apply for a talk at YSiCR satellite symposium Along with your registration for the "Overcoming treatment barriers in Cancer 2015" conference you can apply for a talk at the "Young Scientists in Cancer Research" satellite symposium. -- Kind Regards, Alva Rani James -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please share with anybody whom may be interested. ——— Academic employee sought for genomic data management and analysis position in diagnostic laboratory Department of Molecular Medicine (MOMA) at Aarhus University Hospital seeks a motivated employee for management and analysis of large genomics data sets aiming at patient diagnostics. The data sets are generated by our local Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) facility and undergo a series of analysis steps before genomic aberrations can be called and clinical relevance evaluated. The successful candidate will primarily work with workflow optimization, data analysis, and to a smaller extent contribute to written analysis assessments made in collaboration with clinicians from the hospital. Our locally produced NGS data are used for diagnosis of hereditary diseases, such as heart- and cancer diseases, and for identification of cancer drug targets. In addition, we provide Next Generation Sequencing for other laboratories at Aarhus University Hospital and provide genetic analysis related to a range of diseases. The NGS data are being analyzed with an automatic pipeline, which is constantly being extended. New methods will be identified and tested before being incorporated. The identified DNA variants are stored in databases, which are synchronized with international databases, for inclusion in downstream analyses. These tasks will be handled in collaboration with our team of bioinformaticians and molecular biologists. MOMA is accredited to provide diagnostic analysis answers and we are therefore required to fully document and validate all procedures used. We use locally maintained Linux servers as well as external super-computer facilities at Aarhus University and in Region Midtjylland. Knowledge of the Unix/Linux platform and programming experience, for instance in Python, is a requirement as needed for pipeline development and local system-maintenance. Given the focus on biological and clinical data, medical or biological knowledge is advantageous, though not required. We are looking for a motivated and qualified candidate, capable of working responsibly and conscientiously with genomic patient data. We collaborate closely with different researchers and diagnostic groups. It is therefore important to possess good interpersonal skills, documentation skills, and to be well-structured. The sucessful candidate could have a background in bioinformatics, computer science, molecular biology or engineering and most be interested in working with Big Data. MOMA is a department of approximately 70 employees, focusing on research and development and working primarily with ”personalized medicine”. We generate knowledge about diseases, based on genomic analysis, and apply these in the clinic. The position is for three years with possibility of extension. For further information about the position, please contact professor Torben Ørntoft, phone +45 78455300 or e-mail: orntoft at clin.au.dk Application deadline: Monday, 27 April 2015 Link to online application system (Danish page): https://job.jobnet.dk/CV/FindJob/details/3921927 Søren Vang, Ph.D. Department of Molecular Medicine (MOMA) Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby Palle Juul-Jensens Boulevard 99 DK-8200 Aarhus N, Denmark Phone: +45 784 55362 (local 55362) Fax: +45 8678 2108 email: vang at clin.au.dk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
