Are you completing your MPhil or PhD and looking for an interim role before making longer term plans?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a cutting-edge research group at the University of Cambridge. The Fitzgerald group pioneered the use of a capsule sponge medical device to screen for the precancerous condition Barrett's Oesophagus. This condition can progress to oesophageal adenocarcinoma which has a staggeringly poor 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. This project seeks to apply state-of-the-art computational approaches to whole genome sequencing data to identify pre-cancerous and cancerous changes. In the future this work may contribute towards a national screening program for oesophageal disease.
