Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
The CRUK-funded International Cancer Genome Consortium prostate has generated whole-genome sequencing data, DNA-methylation sequencing data, mRNA expression data and small RNA data for a cohort of prostate cancer patients. For a subset of these patients protein samples have been banked, and some data have been generated in two ‘pilot’ mass-spectrometry experiments. While standard analysis methods could be applied, the design of our experiments invites the development of new methods, especially when one considers the additional molecular and clinical data we have available to us.
This project will look to perform an analysis of those proteomics data, developing methods as appropriate. It may also move into considering which additional data should be generated and designing a further experiment.
