Offer Description

The postdoc will be based in Nantes and will join a multidisciplinary consortium comprising two bench research teams (one specialized in EVs and miRNAs and another in modification of miRNAs), two core facilities (one dedicated to proteomic and another to DNA sequencing), three hospitals (each having a vast biobank of lung cancer clinical samples) and a computational group in machine learning for precision oncology. The postdoc will report directly to the leader of the consortium (Delphine Fradin) and to the leader of the latter group (Pedro Ballester). Relevant papers for this post are:
