Position available
NIBMG is looking for motivated and bright individuals interested to explore career opportunities for the position of Research Associate (Project Linked Person) for extramural project funded by ICMR as per details given below.
Project Name: Fast detection of driver mutations and genes from cancer genomics data using an integrative machine learning-based approach.
Project Description: Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide. Key alterations (known as driver events) within normal cells provide selective advantage and help tumour to grow. It is also well known that the profiles of driver alterations vary across intra- and inter-tumour as well as between cancer types. Identifying such driver alterations is crucial to understand the background biological mechanism at molecular level as well as determine the success of disease diagnosis and precision treatment in a clinical setting. This project aims to identify driver alterations that provide uncontrolled growth advantages resulting in normal cells becoming malignant tumours by applying ensemble machine learning (ML) algorithms both from patient cohort and single patient level
.Name of the Post: Research Associate
Essential Qualification:
- PhD* in Computer Science or Bioinformatics or Genomics with at least one research paper in a Science Citation Indexed (SCI) journal.
- OR M. Tech in Computer Science with at least one research paper in Science
Citation Indexed (SCI) journal with a minimum of three years of research experience.
Good knowledge of machine learning.
Desirable Qualifications:
- Deep experience in the analysis of genomics data and building data analytics pipelines for somatic mutation detection and driver gene detection.
