POSTDOCTORAL AT cLOG

The Childhood Liver Oncology Group (cLOG) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to be incorporated at the lab and be able to apply to next post-doc calls like Juan de la Cierva or Sara Borrell, MSCA or similar

cLOG, led by Dra Armengol ORCID ID: 0000-0002-4690-4027, is a referent translational research group of childhood liver cancer in Europe. The cLOG research projects are aligned with two H2020 European projects: the ChiLTERN (https://more.bham.ac.uk/chiltern/ ) and iPC (https://ipc-project.eu/ ). We count with a unique biorepository worldwide of clinically-annotated biological samples from paediatric liver cancer patients which is being established thanks to our participation in the first international clinical trial, PHITT (Paediatric Hepatic International Tumour Trial – Full Text View – ClinicalTrials.gov). Childhood liver cancer is a rare disease from which its molecular knowledge is limited due to the difficulty to access to biological samples from these children. cLOG is conducting a project on identifying and validating diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers as well as new therapeutic targets for aggressive tumors.

We are seeking for an exceptional and motivated researcher to improve the underlying molecular knowledge of these tumors by analyzing RNA-seq data on unique and large cohort of clinically-annotated biopsies of childhood liver tumors to provide new diagnostic and therapeutic tools to translate into the clinical setting. The final aim of the cLOG group is to increase the survival and quality of life of paediatric patients with liver cancer.
