    Overview

    Are you interested in learning how to develop and apply AI methods in cancer research? Then this is an ideal post for you. We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate with strong skills in quantitative subjects and computing to integrate large-scale transcriptomic and clinical datasets to uncover signatures of patient prognosis, biomarkers and potential targets of new drugs. The project will primarily use melanoma datasets but designing AI methods is relevant to all cancers, such as liver cancer where we have collaborations.

    Recently adopted drugs such as immunotherapies are revolutionising cancer treatment. However, as they are not effective in all patients they should be tailored to the right patients while work to identify new drug targets and new drugs continues to be warranted. Previous work has highlighted the role of chronic inflammation in modulating immunity. This studentship will integrate and interrogate large richly annotated datasets in two melanoma cohorts

    1. to define and characterise the profiles of chronic inflammation
    2. to develop AI models integrating molecular and clinical data to devise chronic inflammation signatures
    3. to identify key biological pathways and targetable hubs in those signatures

    This is an opportunity to work on an interdisciplinary project at the interface between advanced statistics, bioinformatics and cancer immunology. Training will be provided in these areas with possibilities to attend national and international workshops. The student will have the opportunity to interact with and learn from a large community of cancer scientists in international consortia such as Genomel ). You will be part of a thriving Biostatistics Research Group (https://www.newcastle-) and closely networking with Translational and Clinical Research Institute ) and Newcastle Centre for Cancer ).
