We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate to make a leading contribution to a CRUK/SU2C*-funded project “Derivation of novel non-invasive radiomic and AI-based classifiers to determine molecular behaviour of rectal cancer and its treatment response to radiotherapy”.

 

Radiotherapy (RT) is standard neoadjuvant treatment in rectal cancer but there is substantial heterogeneity of treatment response and no predictive biomarkers. Our group has pioneered a prospective serial biopsy protocol during RT demonstrating feasibility of multiple analyses including serial multiplex immunofluorescence (MIF) and RNA seq. We now aim to use state-of-the-art engineering and computer science techniques to define novel non- invasive classifiers of (A) treatment response and (B) tumour biology by incorporating imaging based radiomics data, deep learning-based histomorphological characteristics and existing molecular/immune data in biopsies.

The successful candidate, working within Professor Campbell Roxburgh’s research team, will be responsible for investigating and characterising multimodal datasets (e.g., RNAseq, mIF) developing skills in integrative analysis, and developing novel classifiers that correlate with both underlying biological processes and response to treatment.

The post will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.

*Supported by the Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) campaign for Cancer Research UK (CRUK)

Informal enquiries may be directed to Professor Campbell Roxburgh,
