København Ø
Department of Biology, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is offering a position as assistant professor in molecular biology and bioinformaticsfor the analysis of extrachromosomal circular DNA from 1 April 2024 or as soon as possible after that.
Job description – circular DNA as a marker for cancer
Extrachromosomal DNA circles are known from tumors where they carry proto-oncogenes and can induce tumorigenesis (DOI: 10.1016/j.tig.2022.02.007). Our recent data reveal that circular DNA is also found in blood plasma as circular circulating tumor DNA (circular ctDNA), suggesting that this new type of ctDNA can be an efficient marker for cancer. We now aim to find patterns of the circular DNA in blood plasma and tumors from pancreatic cancer that can serve as markers for cancer, relapse and prognosis of cancer. We will put emphasis on applying and developing cutting-edge purification and bioinformatics methods for identification of patterns in circular DNA and novel structural circular DNA variants. The position will include development of purification methods applicable for different cancers and bioinformatics analyses with output allowing for biological interpretations of the roles of circular DNA in cancer.
Description of the scientific environment You will be member of the Regenberg research team (Regenberg Lab). We explore the biology of circular DNA in eukaryotic systems taking advantage of our highly sensitive methods for detection and analysis of circular DNA in yeast, animals, and human cancer from whole genome data. You will be working in close contact with other scientists in bioinformatics, and experimentalists that purify, sequence and analyze the circular DNA in thousands of plasma and tumor samples from pancreatic-cancer patients. We offer an exciting international work environment in our renowned team with ample opportunities to develop a strong scientific career. The project will be carried out at the Section for Ecology and Evolution, Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen.
