Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
Human lymphoproliferative disorders such as leukemias are known to be associated with a characteristic genomic alterations, such as chromosomal translocations typically affecting a limited number of recurrent genes with several variable partner genes. The presence of such fusion genes might be instrumental for the development of the disease and its recognition and identification an important prognostic marker. Even more importantly fusion genes can be targeted by chemotherapy and/or new drugs, therefore genomic profiling has the potential to identify new potentially druggable targets. The aim of the PhD study will be to work with NGS systems and to analyse the resulting data with the focus on detection and characterisation of genetic abnormalities associated with leukemia. Student should also design and implement an automated system for identification, storing and classification of the genomic aberrations.
