An introduction to long-read sequencing.
The Wicki Lab (at the University and University Hospital of Zurich) and the Krauthammer lab (at the University of Zurich) are seeking a motivated PhD candidate to join a recently established team from both labs working on the AI Tumorboard project improving precision oncology. The candidate will develop and apply novel AI models for the analysis of multi-omic data to advance cancer treatment decisions.
Your Responsibilities The goal of this position is to combine genomics and machine-learning approaches to improve personalised cancer care.

Nucleosome footprints in cell-free DNA sequencing data Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is released by dying cells into the surrounding tissues and also to the bloodstream. As nucleosomes protect DNA from degradation, plasma cfDNA carries information about the nucleosome organization in the cells of origin. Different characteristics of cfDNA are increasingly being used in the diagnostics of genetic diseases and the monitoring of cancer.
