4 PhD opportunities at HT through DADS
Human Technopole is glad to announce the availability of 4 new fully funded PhD positions in the fields of Health Data Science, Population and Medical Genomics and Computational Biology. These positions aim to attract highly motivated graduates with strong academic backgrounds who are interested in cutting-edge research in data science.
The selected PhD candidates will enroll in the prestigious PhD Programme in Data Analytics and Decision Sciences (DADS) of the Polytechnic of Milan, will join research groups led by leading scientists and will have the opportunity to work on projects that integrate large-scale data to advance scientific understanding and healthcare outcomes. These projects will cover areas such as health data science, population and medical genomics, computational biology and the application of advanced data analytics to health records and biomolecular data.
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 1 July 2024.
Check out the HT groups participating in this frame:
- Zuccolo: Using Omics in health data science and epidemiological research
- Di Angelantonio/Ieva: Machine Learning for Polygenic Risk Prediction of Complex non-communicable Diseases
- Soranzo: Statistical genomics of population-scale single-cell data
- Sottoriva: Data Science for Single Cell Data in Cancer Research

Colorectal Cancer: ML Enhances Cetuximab Response Predictions
An international collaborative study led by Human Technopole, Candiolo Cancer Institute IRCCS in Turin, the University of Turin, and the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge (UK) has identified new factors associated with therapeutic response in colorectal cancer. The research has led to the development of a machine-learning model capable of accurately predicting the effects of cetuximab, a drug in clinical use, on different colorectal tumour subtypes. Funded by the AIRC Foundation, the study paves the way to identifying molecular features that could serve as biomarkers for predicting treatment response in patients with this type of cancer.
