Position
You will join our young vibrant team to work on a challenging and exciting project at the intersection of Computational Biology, AI, Biomedical science. Despite extensive research efforts, the quest for early diagnostic approaches and efficient treatments for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias remain elusive. The fundamental issue lies in the limited understanding of the patient-specific triggering factors and their interaction with confounding factors. We hypothesise that patient-specific triggers of disease development can be identified through artificial "reversal" of patients' genetic and structural profile and reconstruction of pre-AD counterfactually augmented trajectories. Leveraging deep learning, generative models and cross-modal autoencoders and working with both structured and unstructured data, the goal of this project is to develop a statistical framework and a computational tool for the reconstruction of past causal longitudinal trajectories. Such trajectories will then be used for patient-specific treatment design and biomarker discovery. You will write several scientific articles on this research project and present your work at the national and international conferences. You will contribute to other research directions in the lab. You will carry out a number of teaching and research support tasks at the University of Antwerp.Profile
You hold (or will have obtained by the start date) a master's degree in applied mathematics, computer science, statistics, machine learning or related areas.
