About Us

The Institut Curie, a key player in the fight against cancer, combines a hospital and a research center with over 1,000 staff members. Its goal is to improve diagnosis, prognosis, and treatments through a continuum between basic research and innovation. The position is funded by the Institute of Women’s Cancers, an interdisciplinary initiative aiming for comprehensive care of breast and gynecological cancers, recognized as a University Hospital Institute (IHU) under the France 2030 program.

Mission

Scientific context

Age is the main risk factor for most women's cancer. However, how the age of the patient shapes women's cancer is unknown. Previous research in several labs at Institut Curie have identified novel mechanisms relevant to cancer and aging. Within the IHU, the lab of Nicolas Manel is leading a collaborative working group with several other labs to explore the relevance of these mechanisms in women's cancer.

Goal of the position

The goal of the position is to analyze clinically-rich genomics datasets to uncover age-related signatures and their potential relevance to cancer development and cancer immunity. Starting with existing bulk genomics datasets, obtained in-house or from public repositories, the position will evolve during the duration of the contract to integrate new projects and types of data. The main goal of the position is to obtain publishable scientific results that will contribute to future publications by the teams.
