PhD Opportunities 2020/21

There are two new funded PhD opportunities for UK/EU students available to join my group for the academic year 2020/21:

• Explainable AI for Multimodal Data Integration in Biomedical Applications

This project will seek to develop explainable probabilistic machine learning methods for multimodal data integration for biomedical applications. We will consider a number of theoretical and practical issues with data integration and explainable AI and develop robust statistically sound solutions to these research problems.

• Multi-omics data integration for patient stratification in cancer clinical trials

This project aims to integrate these different types of data to derive correlative maps of the dynamic interplay in space and time between immune and tumour heterogeneity. The resulting molecular maps will then be associated with patient clinical data and response to treatment allowing to (1) identify key molecular players of resistance, reveal mechanistic insights and develop biomarkers of response and (2) inform strategies based on these biomarkers to prevent the onset of resistance and convert cold tumours into hot tumours responsive to immunotherapy.
