Industrial PhD candidate in fibro-metabolic osteoarthritis: blood-based molecular endotyping

Opportunity summary

Employment type: FULLTIME. Are you passionate about osteoarthritis, biomarker science and precision medicine? Do you thrive at the interface of biomarkers, bioinformatics, and clinical research, and do you enjoy combining computational discovery with hands-on biomarker work in the laboratory? The position We are looking for a PhD candidate for a 3-year industrial PhD fellowship at Nordic Bioscience (Herlev, Denmark), co-funded by Innovation Fund Denmark, conducted in collaboration with The Parker Institute (Frederiksberg Hospital, Denmark). The project aims to define a new fibro-metabolic endotype of osteoarthritis (OA) and to develop blood-based biomarker signatures that can guide metabolic and weight-targeted treatment of osteoarthritis in patients with overweight. This is a predominantly computational role. Approximately 75% of your time will be spent on data science, bioinformatics, biostatistics and machine learning, and approximately 25% on organizing and conducting laboratory work, where you contribute to the measurement of the serum biomarkers that feed the analyses. Project and responsibilities Osteoarthritis affects an estimated 600 million people worldwide, and obesity and metabolic dysfunction are key modifiable drivers of disease1 …
