PhD position in Computational Biology @ NTNU (Norway)

Project:
Combinations of anti-cancer drugs, tailored to each individual, is expected
to improve treatment outcome in cancer patients. NTNU has recently
initiated the DrugLogics project (www.DrugLogics-NTNU.org), with the aim to
use computer modelling to predict the effect of drugs and drug combinations
on cancer cells and tumours. These computational predictions require
software tools and logical models of cancer cells, to simulate how
molecular interactions determine the response of cells to medicine. These
predictions are subsequently tested in the lab, through various experiment
types: cell culture, organoids, and patient-derived xenografts.

The DrugLogics NTNU initiative is embedded in the Digital Life Centre at
NTNU and comprises 3 projects: COLOSYS, DrugLogics and Crossover Research
2.0, together employing 10 postdocs and PhDs, so candidates will be part of
an interdisciplinary group working together on complementary tasks.

The PhD candidate that we will recruit will be co-supervised by PIs from
the Department of Biology, Gløshaugen campus; and the Department of Cancer
Research and Molecular Medicine, Øya campus.
