1 fully-funded PhD Position in the Jug Group through DADS
Are you passionate about AI, cutting-edge research, and making a real impact in biomedical science? The Jug Group at Human Technopole is thrilled to announce a new PhD opportunity as part of the prestigious PhD Programme in Data Analytics and Decision Sciences of the Politecnico of Milan.
Project Title: “AI Methods for Molecular Data Across Scales“
This is your chance to help revolutionize how we understand biology. You’ll develop next-generation AI tools – including foundation models – to integrate molecular and imaging data from complex biological systems. We combine spatial transcriptomics and high-resolution microscopy to see what others can’t – and we want you to be part of this journey.
Why this PhD is special:
- Work at the intersection of AI and biomedicine on a problem with real-world impact
- Competitive fully-funded scholarship, with additional support for international research stays
- Access to international conferences, workshops, and state-of-the-art research facilities
- Advanced training for roles in academia, biotech, and the AI industry
The Team
You’ll join a dynamic, collaborative group led by Dr. Florian Jug, alongside expert data analysts and fellow PhD students in a cutting-edge research environment. Our mission? To design AI solutions that decode the language of cells and tissues – across time and space.
The selected student will be co-supervised by Francesca Ieva.
Application
The application process is competitive, targeting young scientists from both national and international communities.
Detailed information on the call and on the application process here. Deadline 9 July 2025.

How colorectal cancer escapes from the immune system early on
An international study co-led by scientists from Human Technopole reveals that colorectal tumours use both genetic and epigenetic strategies to evade immune detection almost immediately after they transform into cancerous. The results, published in Nature Genetics, challenge previous notions that immune evasion occurs gradually over time.

Human Technopole awarded grant to create 3D models of rare brain cancer
Human Technopole researchers Nereo Kalebic and Blagoje Soskic have been awarded $1,319,010 by the Gilbert Family Foundation (GFF) through the Next-Generation NF1 Models Initiative. Their funded project “Assembloid Platform to Model Cellular Interactions Driving NF1 Glioma Pathology” focuses on developing the first 3D cell culture model of Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a genetic cancer predisposition syndrome that affects the central and peripheral nervous systems and increases the risk of high-grade gliomas.
