Postdoctoral Researcher - Spatial Omics for Colorectal Cancer Risk Stratification100%, Basel, fixed-termThe Systems Physiology lab, led by Prof. Andreas Moor, at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) of ETH Zurich, located in Basel, is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to join a collaborative project focused on uncovering novel prognostic biomarkers for Colorectal Cancer (CRC) using cutting-edge spatial omics technologies and digital pathology approaches. The project is co-led by Prof. Viktor Koelzer at the University Hospital Basel. Colorectal cancer remains a significant public health challenge, and accurately identifying Stage II CRC patients at high risk of recurrence is crucial for tailored treatment strategies. Current prognostic methods are insufficient, highlighting the need for more reliable biomarkers. This project aims to address this critical need by leveraging the power of spatial transcriptomics (ST) and high-plex immunofluorescence (IF) on a large cohort of archival CRC tissues. A key objective is to recapture prognostic markers in histological images through neuronal networks. Job descriptionThe successful candidate will play a central role in generating and analyzing spatial transcriptomics and image datasets of CRC, identifying novel prognostic biomarkers, and translating these findings into robust, interpretable models for risk stratification of CRC.
