Bioinformatiker

Stamcellsforskningen kan ge helt nya möjligheter att bota svåra sjukdomar och skador. I Sverige har vi kommit förhållandevis långt inom stamcellsforskningen. Stamcellsbehandling används idag exempelvis vid leukemi och brännskador. Eftersom stamceller kan omvandlas till olika typer av celler, finns det stora möjligheter att i framtiden bota sjukdomar med stamcellsbehandling. Lunds Stamcellscentrum har funnits sedan 2003.

Arbetsuppgifter

An opportunity for a Bioinformatician is available at the Biomedical Center (BMC) at Lund University, in a newly established bioinformatics core. The post holder will join a dynamic and multidisciplinary environment and will play a key role in providing support to diverse projects across different research areas (primarily stem cell research in blood, brain, and diabetes). The successful candidate will assist with the design, analysis, and interpretation of data primarily from microarray and NGS projects. Alongside high quality support, a contribution is expected towards the expansion of the service in scope and staffing, by increasing the number of users and attracting external funding.
